ARTS1702 · Complex Problems and Enduring Questions
Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences
This is an Enduring Question course and is open to FRESHMEN only. You must take both ARTS1702 and COMM2299. How do artists and authors unmask the human condition? In a culture hungry for authenticity, we often forget how masking through code switching, using social media filters, and conforming to popular brands and media can be a form of self-expression and/or an act of safety, especially for members of marginalized groups. This course considers the ways in which artists use various forms, ranging from poetry and short essays to photography and collage to film and television, in order to approach questions of truth, identity and, often, our own humanity.
