How the image narrates its content

Reference no: EM13561025

Many theorists of photography argue that the power and meaning of an image depend as much on what is not visible as what is. That is, there is "world" behind the image that we never see but which the image is evidence of and points to; a "whole invisible being and order" that makes the image possible.

In this assignment we will continue our reflections on images, suffering, war, politics and sympathy that our reading of Sontag's Regarding the Pain of Others initiated.

Explication of how the image is framed by and mobilized within an "aesthetic field" (i.e., what are the features of the photograph that show it to be designed and produced);

how the image narrates its content (i.e., what is the story that the image seems to tell and how does it tell it);

how the image "treats" its subject (i.e., is there a political or evaluative argument or viewpoint taking place or being constructed);

how the image produces sentiment and what that sentiment is; and reconstruct

what the "world" behind the image is/was/might be.
