In my Visual Politics class this semester, our first case study will examine the visual politics of the oil spill. In addition to examining pix from earlier in the year, we’ll be studying these more recent ones. At top, President Obama and Sasha cavort in the ocean near Panama City, Florida. At bottom, a fashion spread from Italian Vogue designed to echo/exploit the oil spill. We’ll see what the students make of this.
