Description

Archaeology and Photography Time, Objectivity and Archive by Lesley McFadyen and Dan Hicks is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between photography and archaeology. The book challenges traditional conceptions of time and objectivity in both fields, arguing that photography can be seen as an ongoing transformation rather than just a representation of the past. Through twelve new studies from emerging archaeological thinkers, this book introduces fresh approaches to historical photographs and contemporary photographic practice. It re-frames the relationship between photography and archaeology, past and present, as more than a metaphor or analogy, but a shared vision. This timely work will be essential reading for students, researchers, and practitioners in History, Photography, Art, Archaeology, Anthropology, Science and Technology Studies, and Museum and Heritage Studies. By reassessing the central place of photography as an archaeological method, Archaeology and Photography offers a new perspective on how we think about time, objectivity, and archives.
