Reimagining Representation (PHO2113.01)

Terry Boddie
Photography was used for scientific purposes and a tool of imperial colonialization during the early years of its invention. These two things have helped shaped its history of representation of the body. Marginal groups of individuals when they were represented in photography were often presented in a stereotypical manner. This course will offer students an opportunity to confront this history but also to reimagine and reconstruct it through both text and images.

Learning Outcomes:
Learn how the camera was used to shape identity at its invention and still does

Make images that reframe established modes of identity
Critically analyze photographs in writing and in class discussions
