Postcolonial Issues in Visual Culture
0.50 Credit(s)
Seminar
This course examines the contemporary discourses of postcolonialism relating to European colonialism, which was initiated through first contact with the Americas in the 1500s and consolidated on a global scale in the 19th century. By considering key concepts of hybridity, resistance, appropriation, mimicry, and transnationalism, we evaluate the significance of social agency, colonial critique, and cultural self-determination for understanding art practice in the 21st century era.
