Check out the final projects from students in Fall 2021 SOCI-465 Visual Sociology of the City and Its Residents taught by Professor Elaine Bell Kaplan.
In this course, students develop the ability to interpret visual communications products in a rigorous and sociologically disciplined fashion. They read Howard S. Becker “Telling About Society,” Mitchell Duneier “Sidewalk with Photographs,” Elaine Bell Kaplan “We Live in the Shadow, Inner-city Kids tell their Stories Through Photography” and Journal of Visual Studies’ article: “Love is a Souvenir.”
Students are also required to research their areas of interest and present findings in class and final project papers. The students and instructor critiqued the final group projects and supported the current academic literature and relevant material. Taking a lesson from Becker, all projects include maps of the project’s areas.
The photos show the urban to be a site of contradictions: One set of images compares South Central L.A. to Orange county to demonstrate the various ways in which cultural, social, and visual class differences dominate these two areas. Another project explores USC’s role in the gentrification of South Central. The third project’s set of photos reveals that Basketball and basketball courts are essential to community life. This project’s photos take a deep look at the social aspect of Basketball and how different demographics use basketball courts. The images and analyses show that Basketball has had a tremendous impact on society.
In sum, these photo projects’ findings are sociologically meaningful. These visual sociological projects show that:
1) Los Angeles has an incredible way of demonstrating the global/urban community that adheres to various and particular cultural needs.
2) The urban landscape of Los Angeles in these photos describes a complex social world. These photo essays illustrate a keen sense of order and normalcy amongst the seemingly chaotic blending of American urban and global cultural identities. At the same time, we understand how racial and class inequality exists in this urban city.
These photo essays portray the students’ (I say “artists”) representations of Los Angeles, the global/urban city, and its residents.
