Karen R. Koehler (Section 01J)
This course will focus on a small, select number of American 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 documents of American history, to avant-garde experimentations, and 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.
