First Semester: This course explores how technologies of the image have been imagined in relation to the human subject.  We will examine a  wide range of visual and written texts in order to think about how various  technologies have altered our relationship to the world at specific historical moments: the invention of photography (1830), the beginnings of cinema (1900), the rise of television (the 1950s), and the proliferation of digital media (1990s).  Identical to CINE 340.
