HMS-693A Writing as Photography Recuperative Strategies

3 Credits

This graduate course explores ways in which a range of poetic and critical writing can recreate and investigate innovative and rigorous modes of photography. Writing and photography are at a point of potential interchangeability, where both are tools for utilitarian communication and poetic forms. This course will enact the historic and contemporary overlap between writing and photography in methodology and effect. Class time be will be split between seminar style discussions, at time led by graduate students, on extensive weekly readings and workshops on writing exercises in poetry and critical essays.
