Cultural studies: time and memory

- Read, understand and discuss with confidence a wide range of critical and theoretical ideas and texts related to themes of time and memory- Recognise and analyse creative practices in relation to time and memory- Draw on critical and theoretical ideas and texts to enhance your own creative and artistic practice- Develop and present your own critical and creative thinking.

You are encouraged to bring a notebook and pen to record notes from talks and discussions. You may wish to buy some of the books or journals on any reading list given out in class. You will also need access to a computer, and will be expected to access or download readings from the course website. All readings will be available digitally, however if you intend on printing the readings you will need to consider the printing costs.

You will be taught through an eclectic mixture of illustrated talks by a range of different practising artists, curators and theorists, paired and group discussions, debates and student examples, reading and visual analysis exercises. Students will be expected to be developing their creative work outside of classes, and support their study through independent theoretical readings, gallery visits, and in developing occasional short statements and spoken presentations.
