ARTH 82.02 The Camera in Nineteenth-Century Asia

This course examines the use of photography by colonial governments, anthropologists, commercial photographers, and tourists in nineteenth-century Asia. It also takes into account indigenous uses of photography that both conform with and react against Western uses of the medium. Consideration is also given to the diffusion of photographic images into other media including news publications, government documents, academic studies, travelogues, guidebooks, and museum displays.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
