About this course

For Political Science Majors only. This course is class restricted to juniors and seniors only. Graduate students are welcomed.Through a broad range of materials, Democracy & Art will explore the following questions: On what basis do we judge a work of art good or bad? Is artistic excellence an aristocratic value, or is there a democratic version? Does morality play a role? Are some art practices more democratic than others? Are artistic modernism and post-modernism anti-democratic? How does the ideologically based peoples art of authoritarianism compare with the commercialized popular culture of liberal democracy? What are the impacts, good and bad, of electronic and digital media on the arts?
