Learning outcomes

The course is a continuation of Chapters in the History of Photography I. It focuses on the history and theory of photography and extends the insight into the technical image. It uses the tools of contemporary analytical aesthetics, curatorial practice, and the history of photography itself. It is envisaged to involve freelance photographers, connoisseurs, and gallery curators. The course includes work with professional literature and a presentation of work with historical material.
After completing the course, the student should be able to approach the medium of photography critically, to place it in the broader context of visual culture (or art), apply the basic procedures and strategies of art history and related disciplines, and familiarize him/herself with the newly emerging historiography of photography.
