Objectives

Domain of images: understanding the nature, types, methods, modes, functions and values of images. Knowing different theoretical, critical and interpretative orientations. Understand methodological concepts from philosophy, art history, anthropology, hermeneutics and phenomenology. Consider the study of the image as an over-determined and open interpretation (Freud).
Instrumental and methodological skills: researching names, notions, concepts, discourses and narratives (documentary archives and theoretical devices); describing, characterising, identifying; interpreting images and image systems (montage and the atlas - Warburg)

Learning outcomes and competences

Learning is the result of experience, autonomy and critical awareness regarding the use of theoretical-practical procedures, as well as skills in assembling knowledge and images, as well as exposing and explaining the mapping of the relationships involved in the study of the image(s).
