Description	Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading. Afrofuturism refers to cultural production primarily by Afro-diasporic artists who draw on science fiction and other futurist ideas, sounds and iconography. The (ever growing) body of work which has been discussed under the umbrella term of Afrofuturism ranges from literature to visual arts and music (the latter of which will be a focus of this course). Students will be invited to analyse different texts, images, and musical pieces and investigate how afrofuturistic ideas are constructed through and around these works. This will be discussed in relation to representations of Blackness and its stereotyped and often racist implications in the context of postcolonial power structures. Registration: The number of participants in this BA course is limited to 40 students. Please use the Moodle course to enrol for this class. Enrolment starts on April 1, 2015 at 12 a.m.
Certificates	Details at the beginning of the semester.
