Cíle předmětu
This lecture series aims to provide students with in-depth insights into the relations between visual culture, conflict and migration, mainly from the perspectives of cinema studies and media studies. During five thematic lectures, the course demonstrates that visual culture (film, television, photography, …) is central to the way in which contemporary societies deal with and make sense of violent conflicts, forced migration, diversity and multiculturalism. The lectures will veer between comprehensive discussions of the academic literature on these themes, and specific examples drawn from research conducted by the lecturer. The aim is to make students acquainted with a variety of relevant concepts, theoretical schools and authors that explain the relationships between visual culture, conflict and migration. The case studies that will be discussed include diasporic film cultures, Kurdish film cultures, and visual representations of refugees. The main focus will be on cases related to the Middle East and Turkey as well as diasporic communities in Europe.
