Module Aims

To develop students' conceptual, visual and practical skills to communicate specific ideas.

To develop students' ability to produce print and other ephemeral forms of communication.

To develop students’ skill in research and ability to construct and deliver a focused presentation relating to ideas of memory and time.

Content Summary

Through practice and aligned contextual study, students will explore the significance of photography as a medium in relation to notions of memory and time. This combination of practical and theoretical research will develop students' understanding and appreciation of how photographs connect us to the past – and how they, individually and collectively, bring the past into the present, informing our perspective on the present and future.

Lecture and seminar content will inform and guide experimentation, engaging students in concepts of memory considered in relation to a variety of contexts, encompassing personal and wider cultural and political concerns.

Building on the exploration of narrative begun in the previous module, 'How We Tell Stories', this module will serve to further develop students visual and thinking skills. Practical outcomes can combine the still and moving image and can incorporate sound. Relevant technical sessions will support the development of this work.

Specific lecture and seminar content will serve to build students' writing, researching and critical skills. Whilst primarily a practical module, an element of coursework will require each student to construct and deliver a short presentation comprised of text, image and sound. This outcome will allow students to place work produced within practice in context with research, further exploring the significance of memory and time to photography.
