SP26: KIN-68 Sec 80 - Visl Rep Sprt Cult
This course will critically examine visual representations of sport in popular culture. Particular attention will be paid to how media, as a form of popular culture, is produced, represented and, ultimately, consumed. An important goal of the course is to facilitate a deeper understanding and appreciation of the artistic qualities that exemplify works of human creativity in sport. A secondary aim of the course is to help students understand the power of visual representations to shape and reproduce our social reality through the development of media literacy skills. Moreover, the course will examine how dominant ideologies are often perpetuated and, perhaps, resisted in and through a variety of visual forms.
