ARHI 60560 - History and Theory of 20th Century Photography

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Art History

Description:

This course seeks to introduce students to the difficulties of writing the history and criticism of photography as a separate discipline that operates simultaneously outside and inside the history of modernism: since photographic practices are defined by an extraordinary diversity of social functions and institutions (e.g. fashion and political documentary, advertisement, and avant-garde art), the impossibility of such a cohesive approach clearly poses a central methodological problem. This condition has been confronted by photographers, artists, and photography historians and critics with a wide range of responses.
