Documentary II

Catalog description

This course explores the dialogue between images and texts in relation to lived experience. This course takes the introductory experiences from the course Documentary I and builds on those experiences to look more deeply at a single subject or issue. The course examines particular problems, challenges, and responsibilities of documentary work and representing the lives of others to an outside audience. This course approaches documentary work through case studies and field work, and requires students to apply theoretical readings and critiques of published documentary work to their own projects.
