Series: Routledge History of Photography

This edited collection explores the complex ways in which photography is used and interpreted: as a record of evidence, as a form of communication, as a means of social and political provocation, as a mode of surveillance, as a narrative of the self, and as an art form. What makes photographic images unsettling and how do the re-uses and interpretations of photographic images unsettle the self-evident reality of the visual field? Taking up these themes, this book examines the role of photography as a revelatory medium underscored by its complex association with history, memory, experience and identity.

Winner - Best Anthology in the Association of Australian and New Zealand AWAPA (Art Writing and Publishing Awards) 2020! This fascinating and deeply researched anthology contains significant and original critiques concerning the photographic and filmic medium as evidence of social, cultural, and political states of being. Including essays by an international group of researchers, it brilliantly contributes to knowledge and debates associated with the photographic archive. --Association of Australian and New Zealand AWAPA (Art Writing and Publishing Awards) judges Overall, the book makes a timely addition to the available list of classroom staples that provide a convenient mapping of the latest methodological and theoretical issues pertaining to photography. --History of Photography
