The Wired Guide to online video. I think these articles contain everything I need for Unit 3!
I have been thinking about tweaking the units a bit.
Unit 1: Still the timeline, still "visual culture" as topic. Can I fit McLuhan in here? Maybe drop Gitlin?
Unit 2: Body, gender, identity as topic, photo essay as genre: add Barbara Kruger, Cindy Sherman, Girl Culture, from Plato to OJ?
Unit 3: The camera, the visual as subject: the end of narrative, film as database, the spectacle, the visual artifact as worthy of consideration. A lot of the online videos would help, maybe the avante garde sites in particular. Need to find the right readings.
Unit 4: still open.
Visual Culture and Language
This weblog supports a course called "Visual Culture and Language" taught at North Dakota State University since the Fall of 2003. It is being taught in the Spring semester, 2007, and generally will be on a two year cycle.
