Overview of class

Recognizing that media and performance—medium and the body—play related but divergent role in the making and unmaking of race, this course draws media studies and performance studies together to engage emergent and enduring texts relevant to issues of race, performance, and media from a variety of disciplines, eras, approaches, and schools of thought. We engage with film, video, new media, performance art, television, popular musical performance and the music video, as well as criticism and theory from Black studies, Asian American studies, and Latinx studies, with particular emphasis on Black feminisms and queer of color critique.
