Summary:
Getting the picture, constructing (and deconstructing) the picture, finding the picture, viewing the picture, being in the picture , changing the pictures --these are all phrases that apply to the fascinating world of 'putting people in the picture' in visual research within the Social Sciences. Putting People in the Picture: Visual Methodologies for Social Change focuses on the ways in which researchers, practitioners and activists are using such techniques as photo voice, collaborative video, drawings and other visual and arts-based tools as modes of inquiry, as modes of representation and as modes of disseminating findings in social research. The various chapters address methodological, analytical, interpretive, aesthetic, technical and ethical concerns in using visual methodologies in work with young people, teachers, community health care workers -- and even the self-as-researcher. The range of issues addressed in the work is broad, and includes work in the areas of HIV & AIDS, schooling, poverty, gender violence, race, and children's visions for the future. While the studies are situated within a variety of social contexts, the focus is primarily on work in Southern Africa. The book takes up some of the theoretical and practical challenges offered by Visual Sociology, Image- based Research, Media Studies, Rural Development, and Community-based and Participatory Research, and in so doing offers audiences an array of visual approaches to studying and bringing about social change.

D’œuvres d’art, Katja Petrowskaja entremêle souvenirs d’enfance, actualités, réflexions esthétiques, historiques ou sociologiques dans une écriture délicate. La photographie d’un mineur du Donbass, un couple de migrants syriens arrivés sur l’île de Lesbos, un autoportrait de Francesca Woodman, une fleur nouvelle à Tchernobyl ou un énigmatique pigeongramme : chaque fois que l’on croit deviner le trajet d’une pensée ou d’un songe, l’autrice déplace notre regard de quelques centimètres à peine, et cela suffit à renverser notre imaginaire. Née en Ukraine, Katja Petrowskaja se met à écrire sur les photographies au début de l’invasion russe en 2014, « par impuissance face à la violence ». Dans une écriture parfaitement limpide, La photo me regardait porte une attention si minutieuse aux choses et aux images qu’elle en fait ressentir une lenteur inédite, opposant au bruit des guerres « des possibilités de silence et de beauté ». Ces textes, écrits entre 2014 et 2021, dessinent « les traits d’une autobiographie dispersée, en éclats » (Jean-Christophe Bailly).

The gesture of pointing is the perfect embodiment of photography’s function as a visual document: an injunction to look at this. In this textual and visual essay, artist Joan Fontcuberta takes the index finger as his point of departure for an insightful and irreverent consideration of photography’s relation to indexicality.

Summary:
The gesture of pointing is the perfect embodiment of photography’s function as a visual document: an injunction to look at this. In this textual and visual essay, artist Joan Fontcuberta takes the index finger as his point of departure for an insightful and irreverent consideration of photography’s relation to indexicality. He refutes, as well as draws on, Roland Barthes’s suggestion that every photograph tells us ‘'this has been'’ (‘ça a été’), reckoning with the inconvenient multiplicity of thises in any given image. If a photograph constitutes such a statement – as made explicit in images that include a pointing finger – does the camera witness reality or performance? These existential issues are further complicated by the emergence of post-photography and generative AI. In this typically engaging and iconoclastic essay, Fontcuberta destabilises our ideas about the authority and authoriality of images, drawing on psychoanalysis, semiotics, and his own autobiography. His text is interleaved between two compelling visual essays formed of images from the archive of Mexican tabloid Alerta from the 1960s to 1980s, in which the pointing index finger forms a haunting and often humorous through-line.
