This course will discuss the manner in which indigenous groups, Africans, Europeans and other casta groups pictured and visualized their existence in the colonial world through written words or visual systems of recording information. We will focus on how space, place, race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and the colonial body are delineated through visual images that aimed to convey a message more accessible to a multilingual society. Focusing on engravings, frontispieces, drawings, and maps that accompanied many colonial written texts as well indigenous visual systems of recording including codices, and also colonial paintings, we would discuss the cultural and political agendas that marked the inclusion and creation of such images as a way to convey a visual message. A part of the course will also be devoted to theoretical discussions pertaining to visual culture, space and colonialism. Class will be conducted in Spanish.
