Course: Stereotypes in Visual Culture

0,00

09/11 | Course “Stereotypes in Visual Culture”

Learn to identify the stereotypes normalized in our visual culture

Objective of the course:

The objective is to learn to identify the stereotypes normalized in our visual culture, understand how images work and how they affect our education and the construction of identity, what role they play in social inequalities and how we can propose alternatives that allow us to enrich the imaginary and make us freer.

Images, in addition to being a vehicle for individual expression, have a social function in which more actors than the author are involved. Learning to use them with awareness and commitment is part of what is considered to be a good professional today.

In this theoretical-practical course of 6.5 hours total, Yolanda will talk about the following points:

  • Visual History: Where Stereotypes Come From
  • How Images Work
  • Consequences of stereotypes
  • Mass Communication
  • Main gender biases in the audiovisual world: advertising, cinema, fashion, television, music and the press. Examples and analysis
  • Equality and diversity
  • Pinkwashing
  • Situation of visual culture at the moment

Attendees must bring a camera (if they have one).
