Berman (Art) NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. Visual images have always been enlisted to influence individual and collective decision-making, action, and identity. However, the rise of the mass media in the nineteenth century, and the multiplication of visual technologies in the twentieth cen-tury have created unprecedented opportunities for the diffusion of persuasive images. This seminar enlists case studies to examine the uses and functions of visual images in advertising and propaganda and considers, in particular, graphic arts, photography, film, and other reproductive media. It also considers the interplay between elite and popular arts. The goal of the course is to refine our critical under-standing and reception of the visual world.
