Course description:
This course explores how the realm of international politics is visually constructed and how images, films, graffiti, sculptures, monuments, and buildings shape public perception. It uses a multidisciplinary approach and relies on cultural theory, anthropology, political science, and art theory to provide students with a theoretical framework. Case studies will focus on the functions that visual sources perform in international conflicts and in strategies addressing global challenges such as poverty, famine, human rights, refugee crises, climate change and racism. Overall, the course develops students’ analytical skills related to the critical assessment of visual information and encourages them to challenge their thoughts about factors driving world politics.
