Hello all,
A final posting for the semester from the I and I.
I'm posting two papers from the class that were exceptionally focused and well written.
In addition to some of the readings from the semester, we consider them as good examples of academic writing on aesthetics and critical theory.
Jonathan Kaiser: Folk Culture, Common Space, Subversive Possibilities in Everyday Life
Robin Schwartzman: Leisure, Pleasure, Authenticity and Process
