Junior Colloquium: Images of America AMST202 FA

Not Currently Offered

We shall examine some attempts to make generalizations about America-- art, film,photographs. Our aim will be to try to understand not just the image, but some of the problems that occur when we try to abstract so complex a thing as an image or so complex an idea as America has proved to be. This seminar wil require group and individual projects in particular areas (film, magazines, advertisements). The aim of the colloquium is to discuss and make generalizations based on differing materials and research.
