Drawing upon images produced by anthropologists, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, and activists, this seminar-style course asks questions about how the ways in which the making, display, and consumption of images shape and challenge understandings of self, community, and others. Topics will include race, ethnicity, nationality, globalization, power, authority, politics, religion, gender, class, and sexuality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based in Lisbon, this course will explore the visual worlds and vibrant visual lives of the city and it's diverse people. Teaching will be undertaken experientially through walks through historic neighbourhoods, coastal parks, eco-zones, industrial sites, and other locations, visits to galleries, museums, archives, and art centres, and conversational sessions with local artists, activists, and journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using ethnography, film, video, visual art, photography and new media students will explore issues of race, ethnicity, nationality, globalization, power, authority, politics, religion, gender, class, and sexuality in the context of Lisbon\u2019s history and contemporary life. For their final assignment, students will produce an independent creative project such as a visual diary, sound walk, or multi-media artwork.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","pass-course-subject":[382],"summer-aboard-year":[1334],"class_list":["post-365495","summer-abroad","type-summer-abroad","status-publish","hentry","pass-course-subject-anth","summer-aboard-year-1334"],"yoast_head":"\n
