Archaeography - the class - Archaeology and photography - CLASSART 141, CLASSART 241

(Tue and Thu 9.00 am 60-62L. First class Tue 10 January.)

This turned out to be an opportunity to rethink the materiality of photography in archaeological terms and to propose a new understanding of "archaeography", indeed of photography as mode of engagement, and not primarily as representation. Among other things, this challenges the distinction of analog and digital, questions the status of the photograph as evidence, and instead connects photographs with rhetorical arguments for a particular engagement with time and materiality.
