Ficto-Criticism:
Genre and Methodology in the Social Sciences and the Humanities
A Symposium with Kathleen Stewart, Lesley Stern and George Marcus
Presented by Communication and Visual Arts, UCSD
Wednesday, May 7, 2008, 12-3pm
Herb Schiller Conference Room, Media Center and Communication Building 201
Derrida once said “We must invent a name for those “critical” inventions, which belong to literature while deforming its limits.” Some writers and theorists came up with the genre twister “ficto-criticism” to refer to a hybrid form of writing, part critical, part theoretical, part creative to expose the literariness of critical genres in the social sciences and humanities. Others have coined the term “creative non-fiction.” How might we think of “ficto-criticism” not simply in terms of critical theory that challenges disciplinary generic norms to examine such crucial questions as subjectivity, objectivity, and value in knowledge production, but also as a radical methodology that performs the troubled boundaries between subject and object, public and private, and affective and political economies?

Olivier Debroise Lecture
Fragment 4: Looking at the Sky in Buenos Aires
Thursday, April 3, 2008 | 7 to 9 p.m.
Visual Arts Performance Space | UC San Diego, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, California 92093
In July 1966, the Argentinean philosopher Oscar Masotta organized his first anti-happening, The Helicopter, in conjunction with artists from the Arte en los Medios (Art in Media) group in Buenos Aires. A helicopter flew over the location five minutes before the announced time, so only those who had arrived early could narrate the story. Olivier Debroise will discuss the anti-artistic gestures used by these pioneers of institutional critiques and other anti-art strategies in the early 1960s.
