Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2270 This course investigates representations of Mexico and “Mexicanidad” (Mexicanness, or Mexican identity), from the 19th century emergence of modern Mexico through the present. Our approach will be situated at the intersection of the history of images, social history and the study of visual culture. We shall analyze painting, photography, film, literature and history as we explore the emergence of modern Mexico as well as various historically situated representations of “Mexicanidad.” Though focused on the history of Mexico, the course will conclude with a discussion of literary and visual representations of Mexican migrants to the United States. In 2018, students in History 317 will also participate in a photography exhibition at Haverford College's VCAM as well as outreach to local artists and migrants rights organizations.
