Course Description
This course examines the art of the last fifty years or so from the mid-1960s to the present day. Postmodernism simultaneously built on and challenged aspects of modernism. Inspired by the challenges to the fundamental meaning and purpose of art by Marcel Duchamp, post-modernism founds its initial impetus in the pivotal phases of minimalism and pop art, leading in turn to new concepts, methods, and styles, as found for example in conceptualism and land art, as well as to the adoption of "new" materials involving time-based, performance, and lens-based media. Students examine the relationship between conceptualism and traditional art forms like painting, as well as the emergence of alternative three-dimensional and installation formats. While modernism drew on the approaches of some artists from beyond the western hub and adopted a transnational perspective, this course explores the extent to which post-modernism and contemporary art mark a decisive shift from an insular Western view to a more global approach embracing the art of other continents.

Course Description
This course explores the social construction of race, ethnicity, and identity before investigating processes of racialization and othering. The course asks if we are now living in a post-racial age, or if this popular idea is better understood as a nonsense. Then, students examine sociological theories of the racial state, learn how to analyze media representations of race and ethnicity, and situate race and ethnicity within social, political, and economic processes. Students gain an overview of various approaches to "race" including exploring how differences "beyond race" such as hybridity and diaspora are negotiated. Finally, students explore if it is possible to move "beyond race" and considers the possibilities and pitfalls of anti-racism.

Course Description
This course offers an introductory survey. It begins by asking why Shakespeare is still considered a writer worth studying, four hundred years after his death– and why his work tends to be given a particular prominence within English Studies. A selection of texts are then examined over the course of the term, covering all of the main genres and all periods of the canon. The course concludes by considering the question of how the study of Shakespeare's plays relates to theoretical issues more generally.
