AEST.3623 Politics and a photograph

Id: 042049 Credits: 3-3

Description

The course will examine the existing discourses around photography's role in important individual social and cultural issues. Through lectures, readings, discussions, writing, and creative projects we will explore the medium as inherently political. In the studio portion of the class, students will focus on producing a self-defined body of work that will explore the political dimension of photographic images. Students are expected to be active participants in the course by producing photographic projects, participating in class discussions, and looking and thinking about images and texts beyond those offered in class.
