This course examines the history of animation, both in the development of the artform itself and in its impact on western and global culture. Since its emergence in the early twentieth century animation has entertained audiences, employed skilled and inventive artists, and lined the pockets of studio executives and merchandizers. This course traces the history of animation from its beginnings to the modern day, from its rise as simplistic moving doodles rooted in slapstick gags to visually stunning works of art that tackle complex themes and emotions. The course focuses on the evolution of the artform, both in its American homeland and in varied countries and cultures around the world, and how it has changed in terms of focus, method, content, and tone. It examines animation's role in promoting state propaganda and encouraging commercialism. It tackles how the field has presented women, ethnic and racial minorities, and LGBTQ+ communities, and how these representations have changed in concert with broader societal changes. In the modern world animation is a vibrant and important artform that has become a foundation of global culture and commerce, this course will examine how this state of affairs came to pass.
