Target group<\/strong>
The seminar is intended for doctoral researchers in the Humanities and Arts branch of the Estonian Doctoral School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General information<\/strong>
This seminar examines how contemporary artists from Central Asia frame the idea of the nation as both a political fiction and a material, affective, and aesthetic reality. Moving between contemporary art, political theory, philosophy, postcolonial thought, and critical studies of nationalism, we will ask how artists make nations visible\u2014and how they expose the exclusions, violence, fantasies, and contradictions through which national identity is produced, in the process reimagining statehood and developing alternatives to the nation state as the only form of postcolonial liberation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than treating the nation primarily as a geopolitical fact, the seminar approaches it as something constructed through images, monuments, borders, archives, museums, rituals, narratives, landscapes, languages, and bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seminar combines close viewing with close reading. Doctoral researchers will be expected to move between artworks and theoretical arguments, treating neither as an illustration of the other. Each day combines three hours of discussion and art viewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
