Summary:
In 1935, well into the era of Soviet communism, Russian satirical writers Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov came to the U.S as special correspondents for the Russian newspaper Pravda. They drove crosscountry and back on a ten-week trip, recording images of American life through humerous texts and the lens of a Leica camera. When they returned home, they published their work in Ogonek, the Soviet equivalent of Time magazine, and later in the book Odnoetazhnaia Amerika (Single-Storied America). This wonderful lost work—filled with wry observations, biting opinions, and telling photographs—is now collected in "Ilf and Petrov's American road trip", the first English translation.

Summary:
This book is a comprehensive investigation into photographic works by artists from the African continent and its diaspora. Taking the politics of the “colonial gaze” as its starting point, Events of the Social looks at the diverse complexity of the nineteenth-century archive through a selection of vintage portraits, cartes de visite, postcards and album pages. Three generations of African artists from the 1940s till now then chart the changing features of African societies through portraiture, exploring notions of the self, gender, sexuality, race, social status and politics. The book also examines landscape and the built environment, showing how architecture and spatial planning convey social order and ideology while reflecting experiences of migration, colonialism, war and industrialization. Another group of artists, born after the mid-1970s, explores issues of social identity, lineage, questions of belonging and personal experiences.

Summary:
Published by Steve Lawrence and edited alongside Peter Hujar and Andrew Ullrick, Newspaper was issued in New York City between 1968 and 1971. A wordless, picture-only periodical that replicated the scale of the New York Times, Newspaper ran for 14 issues and featured the disparate practices of over 40 artists. With an editorial focus on placing appropriated material alongside new artworks, the periodical sought to codify a visual language of high and low culture that represented contemporary society in the late 1960s. While largely overlooked in art-historical discourse, Newspaper showcased many of the most revered artists working in the United States at the time, as well as an emerging coterie of queer artists.

Format Photographers launched in 1983. It was, uniquely, an agency run by women photographers, for women photographers. It closed in 2003. "From its beginning, the Format ethos and working practice were based on three key principles. The agency aimed to encourage its members to develop their creativity and careers, while remaining sensitive to the context in which their images were used and distributed. It portrayed people and issues that were under-represented in the mainstream media of the time. By photographing women and men in non-traditional roles, its members aimed to break down gender stereotypes, and changed the way women and other marginalised groups were seen."

Summary:
Le catalogue de la 13e édition des Rencontres de Bamako – Biennale africaine de la photographie, sur les thèmes de la multiplicité, de la différence, du devenir et du patrimoine. L'outil essentiel pour appréhender la nature mouvante et évolutive de la multiplicité réside dans la narration. Elle incarne un moyen central par lequel l'humanité pointe son objectif sur elle-même et impulse une tentative d'auto-compréhension et de réflexion. L'ampleur des réponses données à travers l'histoire témoigne de la nature congéniale de la narration et de la multiplicité. De plus, les histoires que nous racontons négocient non seulement qui nous sommes, mais préfigurent également les courants sous-jacents de ce que nous deviendrons. Telle est la préoccupation qui se trouve au cœur de la 13e édition des Rencontres de Bamako – les histoires que nous racontons, les multiples facettes de l'humanité que nous accueillons, les notions de processualité, le devenir dans l'être, les identités stratifiées, fragmentées et divergentes, et les multiples façons d'être dans le monde, qu'elles soient vécues ou imaginées.

Summary:
Ce numéro est consacré à l’histoire des manipulations photographiques d’où résultent des images hybrides, soit composées de plusieurs photographies, soit mêlant la photographie à d’autres techniques d’imagerie. À la suite de récents travaux interrogeant l’histoire du photomontage sur le temps long, du XIXe siècle à la culture numérique actuelle, ce numéro propose une histoire parallèle de la photographie : une histoire dans laquelle la composition prime sur l’enregistrement. En étudiant la manipulation d’images chez les graphistes, les illustrateurs et les publicitaires, il s’agit de montrer comment le matériau photographique a pu être recombiné, recomposé, ré-agencé. L’actualité des pratiques vernaculaires du montage sur Internet fait l’objet d’une attention particulière, tout autant que les usages et discours des métiers de l’imprimé et de la communication visuelle.

Summary:
Collects over 175 years of key moments in the visual history of the Southern United States, with over two hundred and fifty photographs taken from 1845 to present. The South is perhaps the most mythologized region in the United States and also one of the most depicted. Since the dawn of photography in the nineteenth century, photographers have articulated the distinct and evolving character of the South’s people, landscape, and culture and reckoned with its fraught history. Indeed, many of the urgent questions we face today about what defines the American experience—from racism, poverty, and the legacy of slavery to environmental disaster, immigration, and the changes wrought by a modern, global economy—appear as key themes in the photography of the South. The visual history of the South is inextricably intertwined with the history of photography and also the history of America, and is therefore an apt lens through which to examine American identity.
