VISUAL CULTURES OF THE MIDDLE EAST MOVING IMAGES FROM DAGUERREOTYPES TO SMARTPHONES: …
VISUAL CULTURES OF THE MIDDLE EAST MOVING IMAGES FROM DAGUERREOTYPES TO SMARTPHONES: This course examines changing technologies of image capture/(re)production/circulation in the Middle East from the turn of the century through today. We examine historical moments through an appreciation of changing technological advancements of visual material. From changing printing practices on postcards, consumer grade cameras, increasing photographs in periodicals, TVs & VHS, leading up to networked technologies and the digital morass in which we now live. Across the course, emergent technological capabilities of visuality become entwined in issues of nationalism, revolt, consumerism, tourism, changing gender roles, and boundaries of sexuality. The second half of the course focuses on the contemporary landscape of smartphones/internet/apps/digitality and the dizzying array of visual material in which we now drown. From protests to citizen journalists, emergent political movements and social media on smartphones, from Grindr to surveillance, selfies, & sex. Finally, there is an emphasis for students to develop and integrate visual material in their developing research agendas. We will explore some visual methods across the course and you will learn how to create a digital story paying special attention to not simply using visual material as the "representation" of your argument.
