AHIS 1219: Through the Lens: A Critical History of Photography

Students will examine the history of photography from its beginnings in the 19th century to the present day.

Students will become familiar with historic and contemporary movements as well as analyzing critical issues around the development of the medium. Issues to examine will include the role of photography in the development of mass culture, the relationship of the medium to other art forms, the role of gender, race, and class in photography as well as debates around censorship, pornography, copyrights, and art vs. craft.
