ARTH-160 Photography Changes Everything

This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to the history of photography. We will explore photography not only as an art form, but as a medium that shapes knowledge, affects social relations, and influences visual culture at large. Topics include family photography and identity; photojournalism and the paparazzi; crime, war and surveillance photographs; photography’s relationship to museums and the art market; and photography’s role in such fields as anthropology, biology, history, and art history.
