23-6660 Written Thesis


The purpose of this course is to prepare first semester graduate students for the analytical and creative thinking and writing that are a part of the contemporary photographic art world. Students are introduced to graduate level research methods and become acquainted with cultural theories that currently influence the study of photography. Readings rooted in semiotics, Marxism, structuralism, deconstruction, psychoanalysis, feminism, and post-colonialism address how we understand our particular field of study and our culture. This course stresses the critical skills needed to think and write effectively, with the immediate purpose of preparing students for the papers that will be produced in other graduate level courses and for the Master’s thesis.
