An undergraduate course at Parsons The New School For Design, Spring 2005
The photographs of everyday life, taken by amateurs and passed around in family albums and posted on internet sites, are a valuable part of photography. This class aims towards an understanding of how vernacular images contribute to the construction of ideas about identity, family and history.
Family photos, tourist snapshots, and forums for those images such as self-published zines, internet wikis and photo blogs, are small scale, do-it-yourself, localized, collaborative, and made by ordinary people about their everyday experiences. An exploration of such strategies as new ways of making photographic work outside of traditional fine art photography is central to the course.
This class focuses on ideas about the medium of photography as presented in contemporary academic texts and artists' projects, and within the framework of current theoretical discourse. Students will develop an understanding of their own work in relationship to the issues raised in class. Student projects are open-ended, and integration with a previously established interest and/or practice is be encouraged. Research papers relate to discussions and readings, with an emphasis on new directions of scholarship.
