What is the art of dissent? How have dissident writers, musicians, artists, and activists pursued justice and repair? How do social movements use artistic media to voice resistance and make demands? To confront violence, exploitation, and existential risks, we look at art, fiction, poetry, film, music, and social media. Students practice visual analysis, close reading, historicization, scholarly research and debate, public writing, and making their own media of dissent. Works from ancient China and Greece to contemporary East Asia, France, Russia, the United States, and beyond. Enrollment limited to 12. Juniors and seniors only. Instructor permission required.

[CE] JR/SR only
