Syllabus
The course takes place every two weeks in order to give students maximum time for self-exploration. The whole semester is devoted to one subject that is to be fully investigated by students through the means of documentary photography.
Annotation
The aim of the course is to stimulate cooperation between students of the Department of Photography at the Prague Film School FAMU (Studio of Documentary Photography) and the students of the Department of Sociology, ISS FSS CU, in finding a common artistic and research intent. The course is theoretically and conceptually embedded in visual sociology, visual anthropology, and artistic research, with the idea of exploring the possibilities of blending these perspectives.
Methodologically, it also draws on close relation between visual genres such as documentary photography on the one hand and visual sociology and anthropology on the other.
