This class will be aimed at the understanding of the different contemporary artistic practices that have been emerging in the Caribbean region. Starting from the problematization of concepts such as Art, Aesthetics, and Culture, this class explores different artistic languages from a cultural perspective that enables the student to understand art not simply as the replication of a Western tradition but as a phenomenon that has its most important roots in social practices. From this perspective the class approaches literature, poetry, painting, sculpture, theater, music, cinema, and performance art in an attempt to bring up a conceptualization of the Caribbean art from the standpoint of both the production and the practices that characterize the fragmentary Caribbean culture.


3. JUSTIFICATION

The Caribbean Art course represents one of the most important explorations that can take place in the Academy since it is a space where students from both, the region and outside, can take the standpoint of a problem such as culture and art in order to critically approach what it means to be Caribbean. Art is certainly one of the focal points that enables a society to reflexively think and imagine itself. In this analytical movement emerges the possibility to think Caribbean culture from at least three different but convergent perspective; Arts, culture, and philosophy. In this sense, the class promotes the ability and the improvement of critical abilities necessary for any citizen to actively be part of his/her community.
