WGSS 58.01 War and Visual Culture

This course focuses on war and visual cultures, and provides historical, theoretical, and conceptual foundations for understanding the concerns and controversies for “seeing” war. This course also wanders beyond “war itself” to include forms of war that are often unrecognized as such—in everyday experiences, material effects, and affective resonances of violence that have penetrated and contaminated the times and places where perpetual wars of US empire and other never-ending wars continue. This course will consider such experiences, effects, and resonances as these intersect and conflict with aesthetic practices of making war perceptible – or not.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
