Particular emphasis will be placed on theoretical and critical issues emerging during this time period, including concepts of exoticism, scientific truth, the reproduction of images, the public sphere, commodity culture, hybridity and indigeneity from a global perspective that traces the development of multiple modernisms and postmodernity. |
