FA 233 Aesthetics of Autism
3 credits
To treat or not to treat? That has been the question confronting medical practitioners and artists alike when it comes to the role of autism in the individual and society. This course examines the differing cultural responses to autism from the 18th century to the present, which vary from a source of pathology to a site of culture. In doing so, it traces the history of perspectives from clinical/therapeutic domains alongside the values enshrined in aesthetic movements such as serialism. Using case studies from music, literature, and film, students are asked to critique past cultural/medical models and relate them to contemporary approaches. FA 299 in Fall 2020 and Spring 2021
