ANTH 349 - Visualizing Differences

Credits: 4

Explores the power of the visual to produce gender, racial and ethnic differences. Focuses particularly on three interlinked spheres of imagery- ethnographic film, world’s fairs and museums- to explore the ways in which “difference” is produced and rendered intelligible. Attention is paid to the ways in which specific anthropological approaches have been taken up within each of these domains. Visual anthro course. Prerequisite: ANTH 166 or 227.
