HUM 2061 - Gender in Art and Media

Institution:

Century College - Minnesota

Subject:

Description:

Through an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach, this course critically examines the complex ways in which gender is constructed, performed, and represented in various forms of art and media, including visual art, performance art, craft, music, photography, film, television, fashion, magazines, games, social media, and digital culture. The course also explores how underrepresented and fluid gender identities and experiences challenge and redefine those mediums. Drawing on feminist perspectives, this course will interrogate the role of gender bias in art and media and how it perpetuates cultural norms of gender inequity. Special emphasis will be placed on artists and identities that have been historically erased. This course is open to everyone and is an elective in the Gender Studies Certificate. Prerequisite(s): ENGL 1020 with a grade of C or higher OR ENGL 1021 with a grade of C or higher.
