What possibilities do re-enactments offer in revisiting events of the past? How is history transformed or reclaimed in the process of re-enactments? This course actively researches artistic strategies of re-enactment in contemporary media art and performance, investigating the increased interest in this practice and its variable forms. Students produce work based on their interests and in response to assigned readings (Walter Benjamin, Sigmund Freud, Italo Calvino, Inke Arns, Henry Bergson) and works viewed in class. (Jean Rouch, Jeremy Deller,Rod Dickinson, Ant Farm and T.R. Uthco, Pierre Hughe, Zbignew Libera, Omer Fast, Felix Gmelin, Daniela Comani, Artur Zmijewski, Marina Abramovich, etc).
