Course Description:
This seminar jump starts from Theodor Adorno's declaration that "in their contradiction, the arts merge into one another. [.] The arts converge only where each pursues its immanent principle in a pure way". This seminar pays homage to the innovation of Latin American writers who have merged other art forms into their literary expression to create referential texts. From José Juan Tablada's calligrams, to contemporary visual artists who are also writers (Verónica Gerber Bicecci and Daniela Bojórquez Vertiz), the objective of this course is to question the aesthetic impact of a text, where words end and the image begins. Theoretical readings from Adorno, Benjamin, Ludmer, Mignolo, and Giunta will guide the exploration of these convergences. |
