Colleagues.
We are looking for a variable hours lecturer to deliver a photographic theory module into our photography course at The University of Gloucestershire in September on Fridays, with the opportunity for further work in Semester Two and potentially returning year on year.
Module descriptor copied below.
AD5001: The Photograph.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
This module will trace the historical changes and continuations of different conventions and genres within photography through the work of key photographers throughout its history. It will also examine different theoretical and philosophical questions that arise in photography.
INDICATIVE SYLLABUS:
This module will examine the role, status and meanings of photography in visual culture. Its aim is to delve into the theoretical and philosophical issues surrounding photography in greater depth to question the very nature of the image and its use within broader culture. Issues to be considered will include: the impact of the invention of photography upon culture and knowledge; the documentary role of photography; the status of photography as art and its place in popular culture; image and memory; photography and national identity; and ethics. Case studies may include: American documentary photography of the 1930s; avant-garde practice in modernism and postmodernism.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
A student passing this module should be able to:
- Identify key debates and issues within the wider scope of photographic practice
- Demonstrate independent research skills that involve use of academic journal databases, newspaper archives and other library resources
- Analyse a relevant key issue and debate and present this in written form
We are also looking for a dissertation supervisor on Photojournalism and Documentary Photography, who will have the ability to supervise up to 15 students.
If interested in either role please contact me - [log in to unmask] to discuss further.
Thank you.
