This course will examine how texts marked by difference of race, class, gender, geography, power, technology-- interrupt, distort, appropriate, reconstruct the aesthetic discourses of dominant cultures. We will read a few of the foundational texts of Western aesthetics, then proceed to those which record the visible and conscious construction of counter-aesthetics by, among others, surrrealists, feminists, postcolonialists, and African Americanists.
