Dozierende Peter Burleigh (p.burleigh@unibas.ch, BeurteilerIn)
Inhalt This ACE3 course is intended to get you thinking about images and through practice developing an approach reading images. We will closely consider how images can be read to reveal not only their visual properties but also read images that reflect and inflect the social and the political.
We will start by following 4 lectures given by John Berger in the TV series "Ways of Seeing". Berger’s 25-minute broadcasts are seminal (1972) in practising how to read paintings in particular, but his tools are not exclusive to fine art and are broadly applicable. A second focus will follow picture theory of WTJ Mitchell, especially his book "What do Pictures Want" (2005), as well as his more recent monograph "Image Science" (2015). Finally, we will read writers who address reading images from their affect to the economy of their circulation: Annette Kuhn, Hito Steyerl, and Kathleen Stewart. Each week there will a shared reading of your own short writing in response to these scholarly inputs. You can expect to write about 200 words per week.
Lernziele The course is designed to discuss ways to read images, and then in a second step of this reflection to write about images, encouraging the following specific aspects: making a statement of your own position; drawing out a relation between your own ideas and a scholarly environment; developing your position in relation to the scholarly discourse.
Literatur A detailed list of readings will be provided before the beginning of the course.
