ARTH218
Images in circulation: Print, photography, and pixels
Description
This course focuses on how images communicate, and examines the contexts, exchanges, and transformations that shape their meanings. While visual sources are a ubiquitous part of the information economy, their specific properties enable them to work on audiences in ways that differ from written and spoken accounts. The course explores a range of approaches for thinking about images, what they can and can't do, and the spaces in which they circulate, being made and remade in the process. In particular, this course is concerned with the entanglements of media and meaning, and the how the changing technologies of image-making engender shifting conceptualisations of how visual sources and reality relate.
