Cross-listed: Art History   This course will address the many purposes to which photography is and has been put, outside the realm of art. We will consider the studio portrait, the postmortem portrait, journalistic photography, scientific photography, forensic photography, "spirit" and kirlean photography, erotic photography, advertising photography, fumetti, and the many manifestations of the snapshot. Will will study methods of production and reproduction--the carte de visite, the postcard, the photomat, the Polaroid--in their social and historical context. And we will discuss, among other things, how photographs change their meaning over time, how they are driven by the human desire for narrative, and how they insinuate themselves into the subconscious.  Class size: 15
