ANTH 041C. Visual Cultures of Mexican and Aztlan
Surveying the visual signifiers with which creole, Mexican, and Chican@ identities have been forged, this course will track a broad sample of figures through the historical and political contexts of New Spain, modern Mexico and occupied Aztlán. We will ground our study of these icons in the social context of their production and circulation, and will critically examine the relationships between image-making and state-making, and between citizenship, national/ethnic identity, and community building. Visual materials for the semester will include a robust sample of religious and secular art, cinema, and print media.
