The module addresses memory activism relating to state violence in Latin America since the 1990's

This interdisciplinary module is concerned with the interrelationships between society, social change, and social censure. A central theme running the module is that we can only make sense of contemporary social change (and responses to it) today if we have an understanding of the past. Nevertheless, 'history' is presented throughout as contested terrain in which competing interpretations abound, especially in the study of deviance, conflict, crime and criminal justice.

This module is designed to provide you with knowledge of the historical and contextual development of graphic communication across the twentieth century. It introduces key ideas and concepts that will inform your practical work through an examination of the social, political and cultural debates within historical and critical contexts. Through a range of relevant discussions, you will be introduced to methods and approaches that will inspire you to challenge the work of others and to form critical and contextual awareness to evaluate and apply to your own practice. Alongside you will explore and create practical outcomes that are informed by and integrated with theory. As such you will obtain awareness of the inter-relationship between practice and theory and how they actively influence each other. You will also be introduced to the importance of academic integrity and to the academic conventions that you will utilise during the rest of the programme.

This module is designed to provide you with knowledge of the historical and contextual development of illustration. It introduces key ideas and concepts that inform contemporary practice through an examination of the social, political and cultural contexts in which illustration operates.

Through a range of discussions around the lecture content, you will be introduced to methods and approaches that support critical and contextual understanding, enabling you to analyse and evaluate the work of others and apply this knowledge to your own practice. Alongside this, you will explore practical outcomes that are informed by and integrated the history and theory covered, developing your awareness of the relationship between your practice and critical enquiry.

The module also introduces key concepts and frameworks specific to illustration, including narrative, visual metaphor and the relationship between image and text. You will begin to consider how histories of illustration are constructed, including the perspectives and values that shape them, and be encouraged to engage with diverse and global contexts.

You will also be introduced to the importance of academic integrity and the conventions of academic writing that will support your studies throughout the programme.
