VISST 3706
Photo-Text

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

This course will trace ideas about photography, its technical processes, as well as the presence of photographic images in literary expression, museum exhibitions, institutional practices, and popular media from the nineteenth century to the present. From the album to the archive and from the printed page to the touchscreen, we will examine the ways in which the interrelationship between photography and literature alters our understanding of temporality, knowledge, memory, mimesis, history, affect, identity, power, and desire. Reading and viewing widely across genre, medium, and format will motivate our own expressive practices: crafting interpretive essays, penning arts reviews, designing exhibitions, and taking photographs.
