Reading Photography will familiarise students with some of the methods that one can use to make sense of the relationship between the photographic text and its audiences. Specifically, the module will encourage students to engage in the critical evaluation of the relationship between the textual specificity of the photograph and the contexts of its production, distribution and reception. In so doing, students will critically engage with a broad range of images from a wide range of genres and institutions, including: advertising, the print and digital news media, social media, fine art, and documentary photography.
