MCOM 221War and Media
Sociology, Anthropology and Media Studies · Faculty of Arts and Sciences · 3 credits
Description
This seminar asks ‘what is a visual culture of war?” as it expands across an array of media platforms, technologies, and aesthetic conventions. Through a careful examination of key readings and visual representations, we will work to build a more precise theoretical and analytical language for understanding war not simply as an “event” or set material effects on the battlefield and home front, but as a discursive production mediated through a number of often intersecting media sites and institutions. Pre/corequisite: ENGL 203. Occasionally.
