AFRS 387 - Inside and Out: Carceralities Beyond Prisons

Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)

This course is structured as a workshop where students “map” out the carceral landscapes beyond the institutional walls of prisons and other similar structures that hold bodies in captivity. The course critically considers all the formal and affective structures that make up the landscapes of unfreedom. In order to “map,” we pay close attention to the role of visuality and representation, while at the same time delving into questions of environmental justice, immigration, feminist and gender theory, disability studies, technologies of surveillance, and aesthetics, among others. Denisse Andrade.

Two 75-minute periods.
