The Idea of Photography
This course focuses on the idea of photography as art during the 20th and 21st
centuries. Grounded in historical case studies and moving from the darkroom to digital,
the course discusses theories of images and meaning making using historical and
contemporary perspectives. Interpretation and analysis of photographic imagery and
language are carried out in relation to a range of critical, cultural, aesthetic, social, and
technological contexts, including questions of reproduction and representation.
