About the course:
This course will examine how images enter and circulate in the public sphere of news and discussion, analyze how images of current events are made, and study the meanings these images create and the purposes they serve. During the course, we will look at the past and present of photojournalism, from its origins in the 19th century to its contemporary forms, at a time when it is being impacted by rapidly changing technologies, media structures and cultural values. As well as reading about the history and contemporary forms of photojournalism, students will study a wide range of photographic images and learn to write and think clearly and incisively about them. We will pay particular attention to the photojournalistic traditions of the host country, Ireland. The history of photojournalism is inseparable from the representation of violence, which is its dominant subject. This course will require students to look at graphic, disturbing and shocking images and to think seriously about the questions they raise.
