Digital Natives
Section Info:
AIS 199 - Digital Natives: Indigeneity, Video Games, and New Media Although indigenous peoples are often associated with notions of a premodern, natural world devoid of innovation, they have always used technology from print media to computer code to resist settler colonialism. With the rise of social media, reddit, YouTube, and digital gmes across a number of platforms, interfaces through which to encounter, engage, and resist representations of indigenous peoples have proliferated. HOw have vide games dealt with issues of indigeneity, race, and colonialism? How have American Indians and other indigineous peoples used media to reimagine narrative, history, and play? Drawing upon a number of disciplines, this class will ask students to think through how digital and new media have dealt with indigeneity. Texts will include: Red Dead Redepmtion, Assassin's Creed 3, and Bioshock Infinitie along with graphic novels, movies, and novels by American Indian and indigenous writers and artists.
