Cross-listed:  STS   Ever since the Civil War, photography has been recording great events, and at least since the 1890s it has been chronicling those smaller events we call news. Arguably, everything that has passed before the lens since the beginning can qualify as history of some sort. This course will consider war photography, tabloid photography, disaster coverage, photojournalism, and propaganda, as well as the role of photography in preserving evidence of changes in daily life over the past two centuries. Special attention will be given to objectivity, rhetoric, chance, and the ambiguity of the photographer's position in a crisis. Participation in classroom discussion is mandatory, as are one research paper or audiovisual presentation, and a take-home exam at semester's end.
