Subject outline
The key terms of this subject (poetics, aesthetics, and performativity) refer to some of the most influential ideas in arts practice and theory today. Central to these ideas are questions such as: how are meanings made in a literary, filmic or dramatic text? Are meanings carried in narrative alone, or does aesthetic form also shape what meanings a text can carry? How are concepts such as "meaning" and "knowledge" made and contested in the arts? What possibilities are there for the arts today to unsettle and destabilise received ideas of the world and bring about a "revolution in feeling"? This subject introduces students to these ideas through a range of texts, including modernist and postmodernist examples.
