Our everyday lives are filled with images. They saturate our world in many forms, as paintings or photographs, in films, advertisement in magazines or newspapers, on billboards, tattoos or road signs. Images can also be immaterial in nature appearing as memories or computer data that transits through mobile technologies and suffused our everyday lives. This course offered a critical analysis of visual culture, and an overview of a range of theories in order to critically

reflect on the production and consumption of imagery in an effort to understand how meanings are produced in various historical, political, and cultural contexts. In this way, the students discussed and analysed the various ways in which people make different meanings from similar objects and practices toward a better understanding of ways of seeing, visualizing, and interpreting modernities.
