Description

Thinking Photography challenges traditional notions of photography as an autonomous art form. By examining its role within social institutions such as advertising and journalism, Victor Burgin and his collaborators explore how photographs are produced and give meaning in society. This book develops a new understanding of the photograph as a cultural phenomenon, one that is shaped by history and the unconscious. It offers a fresh perspective on the ways in which photography reflects and influences our understanding of the world around us. With 249 pages, this paperback edition provides a comprehensive exploration of the complex relationships between photography, culture, and society.
