| Course Title: Visual Cultures, An Introduction: 'After Tragedy and Labor: Precarious Lives and Affection in Narratives of Violence' |
| Start Date: 03/18/2021 End Date: 05/11/2021 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2021 |
| Description: How do labor relationships and the social construction of what work means affect Latin American societies? In which ways can our gender, sexual orientation, race, age, social class or migratory status define our possibilities of being part of a community through labor? How do the intersections between marginality, informal and postindustrial economies, and violence reshape the concepts and experiences of childhood, adolescence and youth? This course considers how film and literature address these questions, paying special attention to issues not usually highlighted when dealing with representations of violence like love, friendship, community, affection and elective families. |
