Fall 2010 - Dr. Stock

This semester’s theme seeks to analyze the state of visual culture in an era defined by increasing connectedness and interdependence. We will examine how identities – whether community-based, national, regional or trans-national – are forged and negotiated through new media, art and film. In this moment of accelerated transformation, we will use Washington, DC as the lens through which we view the importance of worldwide visual culture in both promoting a sense of locatedness and permitting engagement with global processes.
