Course Description | The course is not chronologically organized in the sense to offer a timeline of art history. The course is ordered as a set of lectures and related discussions around a number of topics cutting through history and modes of creation. The topics and the related discussion will cover vast number of cultures, geographies and times. There is a second layer that is about the ‘discovery’ of the concepts and ideas that are discussed during the lectures in the city we are living in. These discoveries are organized as field trips in various areas of Istanbul. | ||||
Course Description in Turkish | Ders genel ve kronolojik bir sanat tarihi anlatısı olarak organize edilmemektedir. Kültürel üretimin tarihi ve biçimleri ile ilgili temalar çerçevesinde tarihsel ve zamansal kesitler olarak düzenlenmiş bir dizi ders etrafında gerçekleştirilecek tartışmalar olarak düzenlemiştir. Temalar ve ilgili tartışmalar çok sayıda kültür, coğrafya ve zaman içermektedir. Ders kapsamında, içinde yaşadığımız şehirde derste tartışılan konsept ve düşüncelerin ‘keşfedildiği’ ikinci bir katman daha mevcuttur. Bu keşifler İstanbul’un farklı bölgelerine yapılacak geziler şeklinde düzenlenecektir. |
