ROMS 1109 - FWS: Image and Imagination

Fall. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

First-Year Writing Seminar.

E. Curran.

What kind of information do images - in photography, painting, and/or film - convey? What kind of impact do they have on the minds and the bodies of their audiences? This course foregrounds the role of visual culture in the societies where Spanish, French, Portuguese, and/or Italian is spoken, and it asks students to dwell upon how visual material interacts with spoken and written language.
