The aim of this course is to make the students familiar with both conventional and recent theories, issues, and debates in the fields of graphic and visual arts. The course will begin with a discussion of the ``origins'' of graphic and pictorial representation in early human cultures. Then, the notion of ``representation'' with a special emphasis on its aesthetic and visual aspects will be examined. The course will particularly focus on the relations between perception, image, language and subjectivity, and will examine several theories of visuality and image such as semiotics, psychoanalysis and postmodern approaches.
