Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2144 This course investigates representations of Mexico and Mexicanidad (Mexicanness, or Mexican identity), from the 19th century emergence of modern Mexico through the twenty first century present. Our approach will be situated at the intersection of the history of images, visual culture studies and social history. We shall analyze photography, film, art, and literature, in order to understand 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. The course will introduce you to several examples of superb recent scholarship using visual culture to analyze Mexican history. However, the primary goal is to provide you the space and guidance you need to pursue your own research interests. Social Science (SO) |
