Course objectives
Within this semester, the aim of the course is to examine the costume and the topic of roles in the current political-social and technological contexts, which strongly influence and shape the current cultural and existential situation of man. Not only people but also non-anthropocentric beings, events, entities become heroes, the reality of the existence of the living is expanded even with the loss of ecological and ethical values. This dichotomy and other implications that students explore form new civilizational and cultural frameworks. The costume and the body are essential morphology of cultural values, which can be manipulated by society. The theme of body politics, transformations and queer worlds is explored and processed with an inclination towards new technologies, changing the possibilities of creation.
