Andy Zuliani is a writer and media artist who lives and works in "Vancouver," a colonial fiction located on the unceded and stolen lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and səlilwətaɬ peoples. Andy was educated at Simon Fraser University and at New York University, where his doctoral dissertation studied tropes of obstruction, frustration and queered embodiment in the visual art and literature of the 1960s.
Andy's classes work in a range of media, from flash fiction to graphic novels, from minimalist narrative to maximalist poetry, and foreground creative expression as an inherently cross-disciplinary act.
Andy’s research interests include creative writing, intermedia writing practices, media art and art criticism.

Description
This course provides opportunities for writers to
explore how their work might be informed and
transformed through practices of collaboration.
Through an array of approaches and techniques,
the generative potential of collaborative writing
will be explored in an art and design context.
This course challenges the notion of writing as a
solitary pursuit, and makes space for students to
learn participatory techniques from places where
collaborative writing routinely occurs including
galleries, artist-run centres, design contexts,
writing rooms and other contemporary work places.
Considering writing as a social act, this course
is designed for students who want to connect with
other writers to transform their writing and
making practices.
Pre-requisites
No prerequisites.

26/SP
Description
Continuing with the development of modes of
literacy and visual/textual analysis initiated in
HUMN 100: Academic Core I, this course will
prioritize how representation makes meaning, and
how art, media, design, and textual practices
participate in a broader social and political
sphere. Analysis of both visual images/objects
and texts from a variety of historical periods,
from the 16th century to the present day, will be
emphasized through shared case studies (from
Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the
Americas), keywords, and themes. Throughout, an
integrated approach to the humanities will be
prioritized, involving the development of
critical thinking, writing skills, and class
participation and engagement. Combining weekly
lectures and smaller breakout seminar sessions
for art, design and media, students will be
exposed to the specificities of a Humanities
curriculum (drawing from Art Media + Design
History, Visual Culture, English, Composition and
Rhetoric, and Cultural and Media Studies), and to
the conceptual and practical skills necessary for
further courses in Critical + Cultural Studies,
as well as their subsequent studies as a whole.
As students persist in building the skill set
necessary for critical and contextual inquiry,
emphasis will be placed on
processes of visual perception, the cultural
meaning of images and objects, and their many
intersections with knowledge, power, and
technology. Throughout, students will be
encouraged to situate their own practice in
relation to a broader history of representation,
in order to articulate their own perspective on
what it means to participate in cultural
production.
