CORE 003 SC - Representations of the Male Body in Contemporary Art and Culture
Images of the male body pervade our visual environment. Many artists have challenged and elaborated upon these images - as commentary and celebration of contemporary visual culture. These bodies are of different types: queer, foreign, adolescent, racialized, disabled, masculine, emasculated, and powerful. Each image is an aesthetic entity; each carries an ideological meaning, and when analyzed on numerous levels a variety of connections might be drawn between them. The central focus of this course will be on contemporary visual art, but we will also cover contemporary film, music, commercials, celebrities, and media representations in order to shed light on connections, cross pollinations, and appropriations.
