Pink Floyd's album, The Wall, guides us into exploring what the walls are that make up our world, what they divide and imprison, and how they perpetuate power, but also limits that protect us. From the borders that enclose nation-states to the bodies that give us the illusion of contained selves, students encounter, build or tear down the walls that define knowledge, human, or nonhuman experience. By reading "the wall" as a metaphor through a range of texts and media, course investigates the meaning of place, consciousness, and objectivity, while critiquing power structures and systemic oppression in our society.
