Spanish Photography

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

From portraiture to landscape, from the urban to rural, from the monumental to the mundane, this course explores Spanish photography, studying a range of artists and styles - formal, experimental, documentary, abstract, conceptual - between 19th century and the present.  At the heart of weekly discussions will be some key foundational questions: What is photography?  What is Spanish photography? How does one read a photograph?  What does photography, a supposedly visual medium, have to do with language, textuality and writing? What are different theories of photography?  This course is conducted in Spanish and designed for a diverse group of students, including those who already are familiar with the language of photography as well as those who have never studied photography before.
