Presentation
In this UC, Illustration is taken in an expanded sense, being strongly based on research, debate, and a continuous experimentation, in articulation with various disciplines of design/ arts/ visual and popular culture, resulting in less traditional formats and objects. Drawing, illustration, and visual narratives are in this curricular unit a laboratory for questioning social and political phenomena as also communicating points of view regarding these.

Syllabus
ILLUSTRATION AS COUNTER-IMAGE ¿Glosa as illustration: the text that comments the text. Sociopolitical implications of illustration: an analysis and discussion of social and racial representations in the context of a counter-illustration project. ILLUSTRATION AS NARRATIVE To explore narrative as a means of recovering lost or invisible phenomena or stories. Building and discussing visual sequences/ narratives in multiple contexts and formats. ILLUSTRATION AS COSMOLOGY Explore the nature and culture dialectics, human and non human, subject and object, fact and fiction, from a speculative and transitional point of view. Underline the porosity and permeability of active and action-research pedagogies on the relationship between the past and the present, focusing on traditional crafts fundamental to the community experience and to certain rituals.
