Visual Representation: Black Culture
Leigh Raiford (African American Studies)
(AFAM 144; Spring 2009)
The course introduces students to the field of cultural studies, an interdisciplinary mode of inquiry, through the specific lens of visual culture. Of particular concern is how visual culture—modes of representation, artistic products and ways of seeing—produces meanings about black bodies. Drawing on historical analysis, close textual readings, as well as the theoretical insights of feminist studies, film studies and race studies, we aim to make sense of the long, entangled and inextricable relationship between race and the visual.
