| MAP 200AG - Animals in Pop Culture |
|
This course will begin to critically map the proliferation of animal lives and representations within 20th and 21st century popular culture. From Walt Disney’s ‘Mickey Mouse’, to ‘nature documentary’ television series, to the current ‘Pepe the Frog’ meme—and beyond—this course will study the multivalent appearances and agencies of animals in a range of popular media forms. Through considering ways in which animal lives are mediated by human cultural theories and practices, this course aims to contribute to understandings of popular culture’s aesthetic, biopolitical, ethical and ecological dimensions.
