Visual Culture Studies: Studying Images, Still & Moving
Cursusdoel
After completing this course students are able to:
- demonstrate knowledge of key debates and key theories in the study of visual culture
- apply these theories when examining concrete artefacts and phenomena situated in visual culture
- critically examine images using a variety of conceptual-analytical methods (semiotics, compositional interpretation, discourse analysis, critical cultural analysis)
- complement their academic research skills by practice-as-research, that is to say, by artistic practices which will help to generate and communicate knowledge on visual culture in new ways.
- critically reflect on divergent scholarly sources and demonstrate cohesive, consistent, and logical reasoning.
- formulate a relevant research question and apply the theories and concepts presented in these sources in a comprehensive analytical framework
Vakinhoudelijk
Spaces without images are rare in today’s world. One could even claim that our everyday lives are inundated by visuality, by images which circulate meaning we often consume habitually and unquestioningly. Taking the form of paintings, photography, film, advertising, television, GIFs, virtual reality, fashion - visual culture can be entertaining and afford us pleasure, impact who we are and who we aspire to be. However, it also mediates and regulates power relations and determines who is visible and who remains unseen. In this course students will be equipped with the analytical methods and critical tools necessary to tackle some of the central themes in the field of visual culture theory ranging from the politics of representation to questions of materiality. Knowledge-production will include academic writing (essay & research paper) as well as creative practices (scholarly video essay). Course teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2sOFilBxGc
