PMA 3471 Plastic Representation
Course description
Currently, society’s notion of what defines good representation revolves around metrics of positive and negative as well as an unquestioned ability to quantify how many different looking bodies appear on screen. But what if representation requires larger, more developed metrics than those? What if the bodies on screen charged with representing us also felt meaningful to us as audiences and viewers? Through an examination of race and gender through film and televisual mediation, this course explores a variety of strategies and tactics designed to take representation from solely visual to fully embodied experiences.
