ANTHR-347 Visual and Media Anthropology
This class looks at the social and cultural life of the media by taking seriously anthropological discussions of visuality, imagemaking, and representations of the ''Other''. We will focus on ideas and debates regarding media production, circulation, and consumption, paying special attention to both the visual regimes that delimit what kinds of images/films accrue value globally and how populations that are on the margins participate in, trope on, and resist stereotypic renderings of who they are in the world.
