EXPOS 20.107 - Reading Photographs

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

The central intellectual problem of this course is the photograph's ability to record a moment and the meaning of that record. Writing topics from the dawn of photography to the digital age will examine the medium in light of contemporary culture: photoshop is a verb, Kodak no longer makes film, and the camera is now a computer, so what makes a photograph a photograph?
