HONOR 2108 - Visual and Media Literacy in The Modern Era

As a culmination of the historical IT series, this course is designed to help students think critically and expansively about the 20th and 21st centuries, including the transition from what are broadly called “modernisms” to the high-, late- or post-modern era to the current forms of technological mediation in which we are now firmly situated. Our common texts will include multiple genres of writing, sound, and visual representation and draw upon various disciplines, such as architecture and art history, sociology and cultural theory, media studies, philosophy, as well as science and technology studies.
