Cíle předmětu
This course offers a a critical overview of Roma and “Gypsy” stereotypes in the art and visual culture of Central Europe since the nineteenth century. It examines the ways in which art and popular images reflected and shaped the image of the Roma in Central European society, and how they circulate up until the present day. It asks questions such as: Who produced and produces the images? How can they be understood in terms of current debates about decolonisation, whiteness and the queering of art history? Which wider debates do the artists involved in the production of these images engage with? The course also places emphasis on Romani cultural emancipation and explores contemporary art projects by artists from countries such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. The course is taught in English.
