Editing the History of Photography
Capstone Seminar in Art History
Andrés Mario Zervigón, Professor of the History of Photography
Since the 1960s, first drafts of photography’s histories have appeared in edited journals such as Artforum, October, Fotogeschichte and History of Photography. More recently, a number of online journals such as Panorama and Trans-Asia Photography have picked up the mantel and diversified voices. As a group, what are these journals telling us about the medium’s histories and what role does editing play in shaping their narratives? Our seminar will make a survey of photography’s recently printed histories, and it will do so with an inside look at the editing process unfolding right now at one of these journals.
