The students of GRMT134: Stereotypes in Advertising, taught at Pomona College by Prof. Felix Kronenberg, are organizing a series of three exhibitions in Honnold/Mudd Library through the end of spring semester of Special Collections’ World War I and World War II posters and ephemera as well as imagery and advertising of current world events.
The first of these exhibitions is “Axis of Evil: Depiction of the Enemy in WWII Propaganda”. A version of this in-library exhibition is on the web here:: http://blogs.pomona.edu/grmt134-2009s/exhibit-1/
The students in this interdisciplinary course are exploring the depiction of the other in the world of advertising, looking at various stereotypes, pertaining to categories such as nationality, ethnicity, gender, or age, from a cultural studies perspective.
