Topic: Lacanian Approaches to Art and Education. This course offers opportunities to explore two major themes in Lacan?s work that are of particular importance for both art and education. One theme is the character of vision. Lacan questioned modernist notions that celebrate the visual, denied its primacy among the senses, associated it with power and made much of the distinction between the gaze and the look. The second theme is the nature of identity. Lacan claimed that identity is based on visual imagery and imagination, is never stable, is always mistaken, and is the origin of desire. No previous knowledge of Lacan is needed for this course. Students are encouraged to find ways in which the material may be relevant to their own interests in art or education. We will look at what Lacan wrote on these two topics and at selections from his many followers in relevant fields, such as film criticism, feminism, art history, postcolonial literature, visual culture, youth culture.
