Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

We are being flooded by images to an unprecedented degree. Many of us create, share and communicate through still images almost on a daily basis. For anthropologists, this raises various questions. Does the socio-cultural meaning of photographs change given their ready availability and sheer quantity? Is this process driven by technology? How does it affect our visual representation of the empirical realities we are interested in? What makes a "good" or "interesting" photograph?

Assessment and permitted materials

Course attendance, active participation in discussions and practical work, and carrying out of a self-defined photo project are required.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The course is intended to function as a workshop in the literal sense and will be shaped by the students' needs and interests as much as by the teacher's input and experience. We will practice and reflect on various aspects of digital image creation and processing, experimenting with an understanding of the process of digital photography as a series of choices that technology tends to take away from our hands but that we can reclaim.

Examination topics

A major focus will be on hands-on training with self-provided cameras and various software tools along with reflection on the influence of technology on the creation of and communication through images. Course language will be English and/or German as determined by students' preferences.
