Fall. 4 credits. Student option grading.
Enrollment limited to: 15 students. Intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students.
L. Perez Leon.
This seminar seeks to examine the relationships among three topics: (i) social vision (a form of collective intentionality), (ii) institutional corruption in Mexico, and (iii) artistic visual representations of institutional corruption in Mexico. Two questions will guide the seminar discussions: Can we see institutional corruption? And, are visual representations of institutional corruption a form of collective intentionality? To tackle them, our case study will be series of photographs, films, and documentaries depicting corruption within three institutional settings in Mexico: the government, the university, and the family.
