Description:
This two-day short-course is aimed at postgraduate and academic researchers who would like to learn more about sociological approaches to visual analysis. In particular, the module addresses some of the recurrent ways in which cities have been represented visually, and is so interested in how images of urban contexts are generated and disseminated. Paying specific attention to the work of i) photographers and ii) architects against this backdrop, the module is organised around preparatory reading of classic and contemporary research contributions, which will include discussion of how to identify analytically-relevant urban visual data, and a walking tour or Liverpool City Centre, addressed towards visual representations in situ. Assessment on the module is via a short research presentation, which is to be based on interrogation of visual data with reference to a technique of analysis specified within the module.
