DESCRIPTION
Examines lens-based media including photography, film and digital imaging, to develop a critical understanding of
the way that representation and its associated technologies shape historical and contemporary ideas of subjectivity.
It examines Cartesian notions of the self, and the basis of these ideas in linear perspective models. Other theoretical
models, such as Lacanian and post-Lacanian theories of the Gaze, are also used to consider the ways in which
identity is structured through visual representation. These ideas are re-thought with reference to more recent work
on affect, embodiment, and mechanized vision.
