GAWS 407 - Seminar: Picturing War: American Visual Culture, Militarization, and Crises of Identity


4 HU, CD, Wri
Second Semester. This seminar examines visual representations of U.S. militarism since World War II. Ideals of gender, race, and nation often justify militarism, yet visual depictions also provoke anxieties about masculinity and femininity, home and nation, self and other. Topics include the symbolism of female bodies in narratives of national defense and how racial ideals secure or undermine the authority of the male body.
