FYSP 155 - Beautiful Trash: The Shifting Values of Media RefuseFC ARHU WINT
4 credits
Trash appears valueless, abandoned, forgotten, and unwanted. Yet, as the axiom tells us “one person’s trash is another’s treasure” and artists often turn to the garbage heap to create new works. This course offers an introduction to global media culture through an exploration of media about trash, media made from trash, and the popular “trashy” media that occupies many of our screens. From collage filmmaking to reality television and their afterlives as low-quality digital images, memes, and gifs, this course will consider how films, television programs, and digital image culture engages with the recurring themes of trash across many genres of global film and media products.
