Course # 23-2652 SR
Dept: Photography
Course Description: Since its beginnings in the mid-19th century, photography
has dramatically changed our world and how we see that world. In this course,
students will develop familiarity with the complex and contradictory genres
of photographic images: between documentary and discourse; between mass
culture and avant-garde. This course covers work from Europe and the United
States from the mid-nineteenth century to present. Particular emphasis
will be given to Italian photography.
