This session turns to the visual world to explore the themes of virtues and vices through the concept of ‘taste.’ What is deemed as worthy? What isn’t? Why do we use terms such as ‘guilty pleasure’? What makes a film ‘art house’? Who decides, and why does it matter? We’ll be thinking through these questions by looking closely at a number of case studies, ranging from television series to music videos, and film examples.
