The seminar will consist of 7 lectures per semester/series.
The topic in this series of lectures will be what is (often carelessly) called landscape. We will examine the concept from a historical and theoretical perspective, showing that the space human beings inhabit has not always, and self-evidently, been viewed as an image, that is as an object to be discussed and critically assessed on the basis of aesthetic categories. Photography inevitably holds a prominent place in such a historical-theoretical investigation, since its technology was pivotal in the proliferation of the mode of seeing which the concept of landscape presupposes: the isolation and framing of a part of the whole.
First semester: Andreas Giakoumakatos, Nikos Daskalothanasis, Kostas Ioannidis, Giorgos Xiropaidis.
