| VISC 4B17 "Indians": Post-colonial and Critical Theories of Aboriginal Representations 0.50 Credit(s) Academic Course |
|
| Prerequisite: 10 credits, including 1.0 credit of second-year liberal studies (including 0.5 VISC credit). |
|
| This course consists of a series of focused ideas on First Nation visualities, which have appeared at the intersection of Native and non-Native social, cultural, and political realities. With a bit of history and anthropology mixed with politics yet solidly grounded in art, this course will draw on post-colonial and critical theories. As well, the art will be examined through the lens of cultural analysis, theory, and interpretation. Some of the issues raised in class include: museology, mimesis/alterity, veracity, abstraction, hybridity, word/image (ekphrasis), myth, memory, power, and voice. |
|
| Anti-requisite: Students who have taken VISC 3B93: Special Topic in Visual Culture: "Indians": Post-colonial & Critical Theories of Aboriginal Representations may not take this course for further credit. |
