How do they gather, evaluate, and interpret information as the basis for their accounts? How do they structure their research and conclusions into coherent narratives? This course examines these and other questions, through an introduction to the diversity of methods utilized in the study of visual culture. Methods to be studied may include but are not limited to: practice-based research, qualitative and quantitative methods (ethnography, interviews, field-work), archival and bibliographic research, textual analysis, formalist, stylistic, and typological analyses, and selected theoretical frameworks (Marxism, feminism, psychoanalysis, etc.). |
