Blog Prompt 12: Bodies, Difference, & the Politics of Visuality--Course Wrap Up

By 9 pm on Tuesday December 7, please post a 600-word (min.) response to the following prompt:

This course was designed as an interdisciplinary inquiry into the relations between power, visual culture, and embodied difference. We have engaged with a plethora of visual cultural productions stretching across various national and transnational locations that construct bodies through regimes of race, sexuality, gender, nation, and ability/disability. Further, we've critically analyzed the pleasures and perils of visuality and visibility. I want to know what you are taking away from this course--what you found most provocative about the course, what visual cultural productions and written texts you found intriguing and why, what topics or texts or cultural productions would you add to the course that we didn't get a chance to talk about, and what brilliant connections you were excited to see your classmates make in class and/or on this blog?
