ODEC 8090 - Legal Debates Represented in Art

This seminar will explore fundamental debates and ideas about law (such as the meaning of law, justice or inequality; family law; discrimination; peace and transitional justice) when represented and interpreted in artistic forms such as paintings, cinema, architecture and literature. The goal is for students to understand the role, possibilities, and limitations of law through art and to unpack the possibilities of art and law to translate the human experience.
