Photography and Its Violations

Beschreibung

Theorists critique photography for objectifying its subjects and manipulating appearances for the sake of art. In this bold counterargument, John Roberts recasts photographys violating powers of disclosure and aesthetic technique as part of a complex social ontology that exposes the hierarchies, divisions, and exclusions behind appearances.

Rezensionen

"I know of no other work in photographic history or theory which takes such a wide survey of well-chosen examples in service of making profound and provocative sense of the whole field of photography. This book also successfully proposes a genuinely novel position from which to re-engage the most pressing, important, and persistent problems of photography." - Tom Huhn, School of Visual Arts
