Description
Photography, History, Difference brings together an international group of scholars to reflect on contemporary efforts to take a different approach to photography and its histories.
The contributors explore how writing a consolidated global history of photography compares with producing regional or thematic histories, and how this approach affects attention to difference in terms of race, class, gender, and sexuality. They also examine the benefits and challenges of adopting nontraditional methodologies in studying "other" photographic practices.
This thought-provoking collection of essays offers new ways of thinking about photography and its histories, making it a valuable resource for those interested in art history, visual culture, media studies, and social history.
