HUMS205 — Visual Texts and Culture
This course is an interdisciplinary introduction to the study of visual culture. Borrowing from literary, cultural, and critical theory, this course investigates visual texts (images) and how they construct, subvert, reinforce or otherwise participate in the exchange of cultural meaning. The students will develop specific visual, written, and verbal skills for observing, analyzing, and describing visual artifacts in mediums including film, fashion, art, television, photography, the Internet, and other visual sources.
