Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

An analysis of photography in relation to writing. The course explores the inherent tension in the photograph between its role as historical document or as artistic work through a study of the history of Latin American photography, and explores the impact of photography on writing through key texts that take photography as their main concern (but where no photographs appear) and texts that play on the page with the relationship between image and word.
