Barbara Reisinger
Institute of Studies in Art and Art Education, Art History
2026S, scientific seminar (SEW), 4.0 ECTS, 2.0 semester hours, course number S05722
Description
The seminar examines contemporary art from the perspective of disability studies. The prosthetic expansion of bodies by means of medical and technical devices can be regarded as a basic condition of contemporary experience. Accordingly, the question is how current art reflects the hybrid, post-human quality of our bodies.
Exemplary artistic positions include Lorenza Böttner, Park McArthur, Caroline Lazard, Jesse Darling.
Examination Modalities
- reading assignments
- oral presentations
- written seminar paper
Comments
