ARTH 63.12 When Media Were New

This survey of different forms of modern reproductive visual media provides a historical perspective on contemporary habits of media consumption. In addition to focusing visual technologies that emerged over the past two hundred years (lithography, photography, film and video) we will also consider earlier developments such as printing cultures in early modern Europe to historicize the relationship between reproducibility, visual culture, and society.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
