DESCRIPTION
This module will ground students in the origins of photography, its spread through culture as both science and art, and the beginnings of Modernism. The module will follow a more or less historical timeline – the first five weeks dealing with the period prior to WWII, the subsequent weeks exploring the period between approximately WWII and the 1960s/70s. The trajectory is broadly European/North American - a grounding that is then challenged and expanded in Semester 2.
