Section Title:
Race&Visual Culture after 1980
Section Info:
How do we visualize race in American culture? Why is race so strongly associated with the visual? How is race produced, explored, and circulated through the visual? This course will study how race is “seen” in American literature and culture from 1980 to the present day. We will consider concepts such as racial classification, stereotype, representation, fetish, abstraction, and social and political transformation. You will learn how to read literature, visual art, and films using both critical race and ethnic studies and visual culture studies frameworks. Expect to study texts by authors, artists, and filmmakers such as Toni Morrison, Adrian Tomine, Lara Mimosa Montez, Jeffrey Gibson, and Jordan Peele, among others. Meets with ENGL 261, CRN 62181.

Section Title:
Race, Gender, and Music
Section Info:
This class explores the political connections between race, gender, and music. The course considers questions of representation, the practice and politics of listening, the political and economic modes of production, and racial and gender formations. In order to explore these topics, this version of the course is broken into three thematic sections: listening and hearing; race, the nation, and citizenship; and locating gender and sexuality. The course is taught intersectionally, meaning we will deal with issues of race, gender, sexuality, labor, and national identity. Meets with LLS 296, AFRO 298, AAS 299 and MUS 199
