AAS 416 "Black-White View of America" 
(Americans visually depicting race)

This seminar investigates the construction of blackness and whiteness in American visual culture during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. With emphasis on how racial groups both promote and resist categorization, the seminar explores the structures, strategies, and representational systems  in which race is constituted. While emphasizing the distinct manner by  which visual culture (painting, sculpture, photography, and film) promotes and delimits personal and group identities, the seminar also considers the role of literature and mass culture.
