Course Summary
This course will critically examine the way Scotland portrays and has portrayed itself through visual media. The overall intention is to arrive at a critical understanding of the contribution visual productions make to concepts like nationhood, identity, heritage, tradition and cultural difference. We will also seek to arrive at an appreciation of the power, resonance and continuing influence these productions exert. Drawing upon a wide range of examples from paintings, films, documentaries and other visual media past and present we will explore how Scotland presents itself to itself; how Scotland presents itself to an external audience and how Scotland is represented visually by an external audience.
