Employing recent theories from gender and postcolonial studies, as well as media studies, this course analyses a wide range of case studies from contemporary visual culture, across a broad scope of genres and technologies. It will invite the students to critically think of concepts such as representation mediation and dissemination. Moreover, it will provide a novel approach to art, culture and technology by challenging the primacy of vision and by injecting an intersectional perspective.
Inhoud
This course introduces gender as a key concept while looking at various cultural practices in the visual and technological field: film, photography, the Internet, mass media, art, contemporary art theory, as well as social performances of memory, citizenship and nationalism. It uses feminist research methodologies to open up fresh perspectives on these practices and to rethink our encounter with various forms of artistic, technological and cultural expressions. In this engagement, the course offers also an introduction into the growing field of feminist technosciences and new media studies, and explores in both a creative and a critical way new technological and digital cultures that our daily lives couldn't do without anymore.
