현대 이론과 비평 세미나:
Contemporary Theory and Criticism

■ 서　문: "What is important, it seems to me, is not so much to defend a culture whose existence has never kept a man from going hungry, as to extract from what is called culture, ideas whose compelling force is identical with that of hunger." (Antonin Artaud, "The Art of Hunger quoted by Paul Auster in The Art of Hunger, Penguin Books: New York, 1993, p.9.)
■ 교과목 개요

■ 구성/형식: 전체 세미나는 3개의 부분 세미나로 구성 됩니다.

Seminar 1: Literature Review (7주)

주제별로 준비된 reading material을 중심으로 주제 토론을 전개합니다. 학생들은 reading material에 대한 요약, 비평, 질문을 준비하여 수업에 참석하게 되고 각 수업마다 한명의 학생이 자신의 note을 발표함으로 주제 토의를 열어 나갑니다.
교수는 moderator로서 토론 내용을 논의 주제와 reading material 내용 중심으로 이끌어나가고; 토론자의 일원으로서 배경과 참고 자료 및 각 주제별 주요 관점과 질문들을 토론의 장으로 끌어들이고; instructor로서 수업 내용의 정리와 새로운 탐구과제/주제에 대한 질문들로 세미나를 마무리합니다.

Seminar 2: Guest Lecture (2주)

주제와 관련된 분야의 전문인/관계자를 모시고 소강의와 토론을 진행합니다.

Seminar 3: Presentation (3주)

교수와의 상의하에 학생들은 건축을 제외한 '문화 산물'을 선택하여 그에 대한 (소)이론을 정립하고 비평을 시도합니다.
세미나를 통해 이를 소개하고 그에 대한 class의 비평을 중심으로 자신의 논리적 전개, 참고자료, 주제의 범위 등을 재정리하여 final paper로 발전시키게 됩니다.
