Prerequisites: ARS 282 and permission of the instructor. Enrollment limited to 12.: Our present and future selves, and incarnations of them, are dependent on the past. This course uses Octavia E. Butler’s novel, Kindred, as a springboard for creating photographic/lens-based experiences in response to ancestral, historical, socio-psychological, political, economic, and technological implications of kinship. Through readings, discussions, and projects, students will engage (via real or imagined archives) questions relating to how present-day forms of kinship will survive and change in the future.
