UTFMX 200 The World Image

This course looks at the lens and screen arts (photography, film, video, animation, and new media). Students will learn how these creative image practices build real and imagined communities transnationally by exploring creative, lens-based image practices from around the world. Addressing images through photographic genres and modes such as portraiture, landscape, documentary, and more, the course will take a comparative approach that allows us to look at a range of cultures outside the US. Within this comparative framework, certain units may focus on one specific region of the world and its diasporic communities.
