MS 073 PZ -Technology, Capitalism & Race

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This course places the concept of “race” as central to critical media as well as science and technology studies. We will study how historians and theorists have discussed the concept as part of the rise of modern capitalist society. We will look at the role of technology as a material force that delineates the parameters of profit accumulation, exploitation, and social distinction in order to better conceptualize the notions of race in our contemporary digital society.
