Description

This course will examine key aspects of the photographic medium's history, taking into account the diversity of photographic practice since its inception in the 19th Century, through to its contemporary incarnations. Areas to be examined include changes in photographic technology, genres, uses, aesthetic debates and the intersection of photography with broader historical forces such as colonialism and civic governance. Specific topics include the interface between painting traditions and photography, avant-garde and fine art photography, documentary and photojournalism, and fashion and advertising photography.
