| Since its invention in 1839, photography has challenged and innovated the way we perceive our world. Visual images saturate our world, and play major cultural and social roles. From the 19th century, visual images have penetrated in various ways into literary works. This course will consider the relationship between verbal and visual texts. Questions raised will address the predominance of one medium over the other and the impact of one medium on the other when the two are combined in one text.
Primarily, we will analyze theoretical aspects pertaining to photography as a medium and consider social and cultural assumptions underlying the photographic medium. For this, we will read cultural critics such as Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes and Susan Sontag. We will then consider the various intersections between literature and photography, between verbal and visual texts, as we explore the multiple implications resulting from this stimulating interaction. Literary texts will include works by various authors, such as: Nathaniel Hawthorne, Maxine Hong Kingston, Michael Ondaatje, Paul Auster, Jamaica Kincaid and Joyce Carol Oates. | |
