A number of key historical texts that reflect photography's unstable status between technology and aesthetics, and mass culture and the avant-garde will also be examined. The course's key narrative will emphasize the various ways in which photography (in both its analog and digital forms) operates in a space somewhere between art and document. Although discussion begins in the 19th century, emphasis will be placed on 20th and 21st photographic practice.
