This course examines the way Scotland portrays and has portrayed itself through visual media. The course provides an understanding of the contribution of visual productions in concepts like nationhood, identity, heritage, tradition, and cultural difference. Students also gain an appreciation of the power, resonance, and continuing influence these productions exert. Drawing upon a wide range of examples from films, documentaries, and other visual media past and present, the course explores how Scotland presents itself to itself, how Scotland presents itself to an external audience, and how Scotland is represented visually by an external audience.
