【Course Objectives】

The aim of this course is to enable students to develop an understanding of the principles of photography as a form of mechanical perception from the perspective of body expression and cinematic arts and reengage with the meaning behind viewing photographs in the contemporary world.

【Course Contents】

The study of mechanical images forms one of the core elements of learning in the Department of Body Expression and Cinematic Arts. First, the course will cover the fundamentals of body expression and cinematic arts and subsequently examine the principles of photography, the first form of mechanical image that humanity developed. We will also study the impact of photographic techniques in the early stages of photography’s development and clarify its essence. Students will subsequently read texts and give in-class presentations in a seminar format. In order for students to deepen their understanding of the essence of photography through the attainment of accurate knowledge, they will not only have opportunities to carry out discussions as necessary but also critique the photographs taken by their classmates. The literature for this course will include research papers by photography historian Geoffrey Batchen, who analyzed the essence of photography from a new perspective, as well as the text for The Photographer’s Eye (1966), an exhibition organized by photography historian John Szarkowski, who was the director of photography at the Museum of Modern Art, New York for many years.
