HONR 300D General Honors Seminar IMAGES AND CULTURE 3 credits
OF WAR: REPRESENTATIOS OF EUROPEAN WARFARE
AND IMPERIALISM, 1840-1970
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD Exploring the
visual culture of warfare, this course
looks at European conflicts in modern
times, how photographers, writers, and
filmmakers recorded them, and how
civilians consumed those representations
back home. It was the age of Empires:
Britain, France, Russia, and Germany
competing with each other for political
dominance and territorial possessions in
Asia and Africa. But those dominions were
held at a cost - often involving violence
and death to both the Europeans and the
indigenous peoples they tried to rule
over. At every conflict, the photographer
was there to expose, propagandize, dazzle,
and warn. "Images and Cultures of War"will
demonstrate that warfare and its
accompanying technologies remained the
foundation of the modern imperialist
project. Also listed as HIST 355H.
PERMISSION OF THE HONORS COLLEGE REQUIRED.
Meets in Library Room 214.
