HIST5702Histories of Art, Place, and Popular Culture (O)3 ch (3S) (W)

Examines the interconnected histories of place, artistic practice, and popular resistance. Focuses on rural, poor, and racialized experiences of place and popular culture, to centre the ways in which resistant populations across the globe have used art and culture to critique and resist capitalism, war and violence, colonialism, and heterosexism, and to foreground ecological, feminist, queer, Indigenous, Black, and racialized creative practice according to their site-specific contexts. Explores everyday intersections and solidarities across varied popular resistances and historical periods.
