CDRO 26E00 - Derecho y Arte en América Latina.

This course will explore the different ways in which the arts have represented themes greatly debated in the law, among them inequality, citizenship and justice. During the sessions we will also inquire how the arts envision the law: as a site of struggle; as a tool for emancipation or as a technique for oppression. Framing all of our discussions will be ideas about what is interpreted as revolutionary both in the arts and in the law as well as how the interdisciplinary encounters occur.
