Course Objectives:	This course is a continuation of POV3213 History of Camera Images I. It will thus continue with the aim of providing you with histories of photography, film and video that can inform and enable your development as critical practitioners.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
I. Recognise varieties of explanation of shifts from modernist to postmodernist accounts of the significance of camera-images
II. Recognise and analyse different modes of filmic narrative across factual and fictional modes and in relation to different socio-political and cultural interests
III. Recognise different accounts of the emergence and purposes of video technologies
IV. Recognise different accounts of the significance of digitization in photography, film and video
V. Recognise different accounts of globalization and the roles of visual images in these accounts
VI. Develop a critical account of relations to the history of camera-images and to contemporary visual culture relevant to the student’s practice

Course Content

The course will consider ways in which the technical powers of images have been used by contemporary practitioners. It explores the ways in which different photographic and film practices are involved in different claims to truth and knowledge in the context of our actual socio-cultural topics of interest. It reviews the transformation of photography and video practices, especially in the contemporary era.
