Photography

Over the past 25 years, photography has moved to centre stage in the study of visual culture

and has established itself in numerous disciplines. This trend has brought with it a diversiica-

tion in approaches to the study of the photographic image.

Photography: Theoretical Snapshots ofers exciting perspectives on photography theory today

from some of the world’s leading critics and theorists. It introduces new means of looking at

photographs, with topics including:

•

a community-based understanding of Spencer Tunick’s controversial installations

•

the tactile and auditory dimensions of photographic viewing

•

snapshot photography

•

and the use of photography in human rights discourse.

Photography:Theoretical Snapshots also addresses the question of photography history, revisiting

the work of some of the most inluential theorists such as Roland Barthes, Walter Benjamin,

and the October group, re-evaluating the neglected genre of the carte-de-visite photograph, and

addressing photography’s wider role within the ideologies of modernity. The collection opens

with an introduction by the editors, analysing the trajectory of photography studies and theory

over the past three decades and the ways in which the discipline has been constituted.

Ranging from the most personal to the most dehumanized uses of photography, from the

nineteenth century to the present day, from Latin America to Northern Europe, Photography:

Theoretical Snapshots will be of value to all those interested in photography, visual culture and

cultural history.
