A short history of documentary photography in North- America

The course will explore the uses and practices of documentary photography in the United States and in Canada in the 20th and 21st centuries. The very open definition of documentary photography adopted here will take us on a tour of various genres - social photography, ethno-photography, social realism, photojournalism, anti-documentary, staged photography, and virtual reality. The course requires weekly readings around theoretical, practical, social or artistic issues photographers have sought to address.
