Section Info:
Topic: This course will examine the relationship between text and image, with an emphasis on understanding the role of images, at three moments of technological change: the Middle Ages (with the proliferation of the hand-produced book), the print era (early printing and subsequent technological innovation) and the Internet era. Several themes will run through the exploration: the role of visual imagery in communication; the unique ways in which artistic objects, whether manuscripts, printed books, or internet sites, are social products that encode desired readings by authors and the means for readers' and viewers' reception and appropriation; and the ways in which manuscripts, printed books and the internet create textual and visual communities.
Restriction(s):
Restricted to History of Art major(s).
