ANTH 072 PZ -Visual Politics of Global Indigeneity

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This course will examine the ways that racial and ethnic identifications are created, maintained, and circulated through visual materials such as film, photography, art, and video games. With a special focus on global indigenous groups, we will investigate what impact such visual representations have on people’s lived political realities, and the ways that groups wield the power of visuality to influence politics. This course will require viewing films outside of class, in addition to reading assignments. Students will be evaluated on current events presentations, response papers, facilitating a class discussion, and a final paper.
