ANTH 519 - Culture, Media and the Visual Imagination(3 credits)
Prerequisite: ANTH 508
This course introduces students to the field of visual anthropology by looking at two related topics: the origins of the subfield of Visual Anthropology with its various theories and approaches to analyzing and interpreting visuals; and the role and prominence of visuals in human societies globally, drawing from data based on findings of the earliest archaeological discoveries to the rapid transnational movement of images via communication technologies today. The first part – the history of the field – examines the ways in which visual material has been employed in cross-cultural anthropological research, presentation, documentation, and consumption knowledge, primarily through photography and film. Offered every two years.
