Looking at Photography

Listed in: Art and the History of Art, as ARHA-220

Faculty

Karen R. Koehler (Section 01)

Description

This course will focus on a small, select number of photographs studied in significant depth. Making use of diverse methods of looking and analysis, we will examine photographs that are both canonical and non-canonical, from the earliest daguerreotypes in the nineteenth century to avant-garde experimentation in the twentieth century to the expanding global image ecologies of the present. We will study the social, intellectual, and art histories of photography, interrogating concepts of visual representation and reproduction, and issues of technology, identity, and power, while also employing the theoretical lenses of critical writers.
