Description:

IMAGE, ICON AND VISUAL LEGACY: Images that change the course of history in Latin America This course will focus on the investigation of images that become icons representing history, revolutions, activism and the demand for social change. Starting with images of Hiroshima (1945), its presence and its absence, the beginning of the "Cold War" and the development and success of the Cuban Revolution, this course will focus on the analysis of how images broadcast a message influencing revolutionary movements and human rights demands in Latin America. Executed on October 9, 1967, Che Guevara survives his untimely death producing, simultaneously, an uncorrupted legacy and a pursuant challenge to Latin America and the world. His portrait, infinitely reproduced, is a icon of political resistance.
