CrsNo MS 147D PO


When Offered: Offered occasionally.

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, poststructuralist—that underpin scholarship in the fields of media studies and art history.
