Histories and Theories of Photography
I have completed the course Histories and Theories of Photography of the Master in Photographic Studies at the University of Leiden.
Lectures series was given by Tineke de Ruyter, Flip Bool and Helen Westgeest during the autumn and winter of 2009.
Among the questions addressed were the photograph as document and the photograph as art form; photography’s medium specificity and self-reflexivity; problems of truth and representation; the photograph as object; and the uses and functions of photography; plus reflections on the intrinsically interdisciplinary nature of photography and its relation to fields such as art, science, literature and film.
