Media Aesthetics: Image, Text, Sound I
Course Code
HUMA 16000 91
Course Description
This course focuses on images, imitation, and seeing. Images may seem to simply reflect the real, but they just as often distort or distance viewers from it.
We explore the strangeness of images through Diego Velasquez's Las Meninas, Plato's Republic, Hitchcock's Vertigo, and Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye.
Course Criteria
