MS 147D PO - Topics: Theories of the Visual


CrsNo MS 147D PO

When Offered: Undetermined.

Instructor(s): J. Friedlander

This course examines ways of understanding relationships between viewers and images through an exploration of the cultural, political, and psychic mechanisms that accompany the act of looking. It engages these issues though consideration of painting, photography, film, television, science, and surveillance. It provides students with a background in a range of foundational theoretical perspectives—feminist, psychoanalytic, Marxist, phenomenological, structuralist and poststructuralist—that underpin scholarship in the fields of media studies and art history.
