Objectives
This course studies the complex relationship which between artistic work and political power at different periods and in various countries


Content - Program

This problem raises numerous questions that, in particular, underline the conditions under which artistic creation is made possible.

Another aspect of the course will be the image of political power in art. We will discuss the assumption  that political power can be the central theme for artistic inspiration but can also be represented in a vague or even allusive way.

To answer these questions,  a subjective selection of works or literary and cinematographic trends will be studied in class. The following subjects will be addressed:

  • Humor and Power

  • Architecture in Nancy – a study of public areas in time

  • Enki Bilal

  • William Shakespeare: Richard III

  • George Orwell

  • Censorship and propaganda in the movie industry

  • MacCarthyism

  • Mexican muralists

  • Street Art
  • Arts policy and funding
