ARTH 1174
FWS: Photographs and Text

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2022-2023. Courses of Study 2022-2023 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

Like the right Instagram filter, writing can change the way a photograph impacts its viewer. This course touches on some of photography's key histories and concerns to improve the way students write with images. By making something appear, a photograph wields great power on a screen or printed page. Writers not only elegantly describe photographs, but mine, subvert, and silence images with text. Class sessions will cover topics related to conceptual art, the documentary tradition, fourth-wave feminism, and postcolonial theory to interrogate photography's possibilities against the writer's responsibilities.

When Offered Fall.
