Summary
Fake news is not a new problem. You will explore how conspiracy theories work and how to recognize them in visuals and media. Visual material plays a special role in the reinforcement of conspiracy theories. From the Egyptian pyramids to the birth of modern art in the twentieth century, students will focus on ways that an evidence-based account of the making of an artwork or architectural site can been replaced by a (usually more interesting) story about its "true, hidden nature," which usually leads to revealing the conspiracy.
Student profile
All ALP students should plan to bring a personal laptop or tablet for use in class and during evening sessions.
