| Week 8 Preparatory questions: Have you ever thought about death, or terminal illness? If yes, on what occasion? How did it make you feel? How is death physically portrayed in your culture? Do you imagine an afterlife? If yes, what do bodies look like in it? What do you know about AIDS? Do you know any people who are HIV-positive? Do you think it is different that other illnesses? Theoretician Theodor Adorno said, “To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric.” Do you think suffering, dead or sick bodies should be a subject for art, or should artists show some respect and refrain?
Supplementary readings: Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno, “From The Culture Industry” |
