Good reading habits. English knowledge recomended..
We live surrounded by photographic images, we observe and analyze them, we create and use them, and we also talk through them constantly, but we rarely make a stop to study the history of this art-medium-language and to reflect on its nature, scope and possibilities. This is precisely one of the main objectives of this subject.
The syllabus for this course consists of two parts. In the first part, we will take a survey of the history of photography, from its origins to the present day, based on a careful selection of themes. The aim of this part of the programme is to familiarise students with the broad panorama of the history of photography, and with the conceptual tools necessary to critically analyse the photographic phenomenon and to understand it from multiple perspectives.
In the second part of the program, which is shorter and more synthetic, we will address the second objective of the course and we will introduce you to contemporary art and documentary cinema, which derives directly from the avant-gardes. The classes of this part will complement those of the first part, in order to bring you closer to one of the most relevant and innovative fields of contemporary filmmaking.
