Description:

This course explores issues of gender in popular forms of visual culture. You will learn to apply critical methods in order to understand how gendered images are constructed and strategically used. We will draw from a variety of visual contexts including online and in print culture such as magazines, comic books, and graphic novels. In analyzing concepts of femininity and masculinity, we will examine how popular culture reflects, creates, and contests our understandings of gender and sexuality. From a critical standpoint, this kind of analysis also includes issues of power, identity, and representation in the visual field. May be elected as Rhetoric and Film Studies 380A.
