Description

The body is probably the most represented subject in visual culture. The course will explore the ways social relations, practices, and knowledge are inscribed on the body through its photographic representation in different contexts (art, anthropology, journalism, medicine, amateur, tourism).

From the nude to the selfie, the course will analyze different examples of photography from Latin America to explore the relationship between the body, photography, and power in post-independence Latin America in order to consider the ways in which photography was used as a tool to establish national, racial, and cultural identities.

Students will be honing their own analytic and interpretive skills by studying photographic images in person and writing critical responses informed by the readings. Additionally, students will be responsible for taking photographs every week in conjunction with the class.

This course counts as literature credit toward the Spanish minor.

Class Format:

For Fall 2021: During certain periods of the term, we will have an “in-person day” with large discussions about the course content; during other periods of the term, we will have an "online day" where students collaborate in small-group activities via Canvas and Zoom.
