Workshop with Eloy Fernández Porta

Workshop with Eloy Fernández Porta

“You know how you ought to feel”. Cultural transit in the era of media implosion

A workshop with Eloy Fernández Porta

Workshop from Tuesday 27 to Friday 30 November, from 16.00 – 20.00.

Final session, open to the general public: Wednesday 5 December at 18.00.

Alienated or sensitive, abject or relational: behind recent discourse about the arts there always throbs the question of emotion. What is the emotional code prioritized by artistic discourse? What type of culture does it call upon and how does it generate a work? In this workshop, from a perspective of the sociology of the arts, we will try to identify some of the contemporary politics around sentiment and their trans-media embodiment, developing practical exercises aimed at creators, curators and critics.

Eloy Fernández Porta (Barcelona, 1974) lectures in New Literary Fields on the Master in Creative Writing at the UPF and on Contemporary Art within the HESP programme of the same institution; he has also collaborated with the Palais de Tokyo, the Architectural Association and the Istituto Europeo di Design. He has published books of stories such as Los minutos de la basura and Caras B, la anthología Golpes (with Vicente Muñoz Álvarez) and the books on cultural criticism Afterpop, Homo Sampler, €®O$ (Premio Anagrama) and Emociónese así, and has been translated into English, French and Portuguese. Has also collaborated with Agustín Fernández Mallo in the duo Afterpop Fernández & Fernández. He has written for Cultura/s, salonKritik, Exit Book and Fluor.

Price of workshop: 170 €.
