BSOS 185 Society through the Visual is a specialized course within the Bachelor of Science (Honours) Anthropology (BSCANH) program, focusing on the study of visual culture as a lens for understanding society, cultural identities, and social interactions. The course integrates theoretical frameworks from anthropology, cultural studies, and visual anthropology to analyze how visual representations shape and reflect societal norms, beliefs, and practices.
Students will explore the interdisciplinary nature of visual culture, studying the role of images, media, and material artifacts in constructing and communicating cultural meanings. The course covers methodologies for visual analysis, including semiotics, iconography, and discourse analysis, enabling students to interpret and critique visual texts within their cultural contexts.
Central to the course is the examination of cultural representations in visual media, including photography, film, art, advertising, and digital media. Students will analyze how visual narratives and symbols contribute to the construction of social identities, power dynamics, and cultural ideologies, fostering critical thinking about the impact of visual culture on societal perceptions and behaviors.
Ethical considerations in visual anthropology will be discussed, emphasizing responsible practices in documenting, interpreting, and representing diverse cultural perspectives through visual means. Case studies and practical exercises will allow students to apply theoretical concepts to real-world examples, enhancing their ability to conduct visual research and contribute to anthropological discourse.
