LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course examines sound art and sound studies issues in the diverse and multi-faceted context of gender issue problematics. The conceptual division between theory and praxis is abandoned as obsolete, and all doing at the course aims for the vital and visceral in-between-state of those two. The course aims to encourage students to strive for new territories of doing and thinking in their artistic paths through various mixes of sound and text related embodied acts. The main goal of the course is to provide mixed media tools for critical elaboration, creation and reflection of an artistic process.

The order of priority does not apply to courses organised by the Centre for General Studies or doctoral courses.

  This decision on the order of priority does not influence the right of the teacher to define prerequisites for the course.
