Critical Perspectives on Visual Culture and Political Discourse

This exam focuses on the analytical frameworks governing the relationship between visual imagery and political narratives. Emphasis will be placed on iconography, representation, and audience perception within political contexts.

Understanding the interplay between visual culture and politics is crucial, as it informs contemporary scholarship and activism. It also allows for a deeper comprehension of how visual media shapes public opinion and influences political behavior.

Students will be assessed on their ability to articulate theoretical concepts and demonstrate insights into visual rhetoric. They will provide critical analyses that encompass the constructed nature of political images and their implications.

Candidates should be prepared to interrogate specific visual examples and articulate the implications of their analyses in the context of political communication.
