AMST 201C: P1 Picturing The Past
3.00 Credits
Saint John Fisher University
This course is intended to introduce students to the potentials and perils of using photography as a source of historical knowledge. Beginning with an assumption that our understanding of much of American history has been shaped by the photographic images we have been exposed to (for instance, Matthew Brady's Civil War photographs and the FSA record of the Great Depression), the course explores the ways that photographs have been used to understand the past and examines the inherent contradictions of photographs being both "objective" facts and subjective expressions, therebyrevealing the pitfalls of expecting photographs to tell the truth. Cross-listed with ARTS 201C.
