At once objective and polemical, disengaged and yet concerned, the documentary photograph has not merely recorded, but also shaped the way we see our world.

La publication Alt. +1000 présente le travail photographique de huit artistes proposant un regard personnel sur l’environnement Alpin. Aux images de Vanessa Püntener sur le monde paysan d’aujourd’hui et celles de Thomas Flechtner montrant la montagne dans sa dimension la plus pure s’ajoutent les travaux de six jeunes photographes suisses et français. Leur démarche invite à contempler la montagne sous un angle nouveau. Loin de la carte postale touristique, ces artistes évoquent la montagne sous des facettes inattendues : effrayante, spectaculaire, domptée, abandonnée, décalée, féerique. Parallèlement, les rencontres entre reporters et plasticiens permettent de proposer une lecture multiple du monde. Le spectateur est amené à déplacer son point de vue et à réévaluer la question des critères esthétiques. En un temps où l’image stéréotypée de la montagne-ski ou de la montagne-performance en est venue à écoeurer le public au point qu’il se détourne du monde alpin, ce livre est une excellente occasion de promouvoir une révolution du regard.

Price:

Summary:
This book examines a recurrent question in recent literature on the use of the photographic medium in contemporary art. It is concerned with the multiformity of ways the photograph manifests itself in diverse artistic practices today, and with the consequences of this situation for photography’s critical potential. Central to this discussion is the question whether photography has a hybrid or chameleonic character because it can be part of entirely different mixed-media works of art. The book also raises such questions as: Does the photo-image nowadays serve mainly as a useful tool to make a renewed kind of tableau, often marked by a rather noncommittal and ‘poetic’ visual imagery? When photographic practices aim at raising a critical debate on the internal workings of the artistic system itself or on broader social problems, is the photograph then able to distinguish itself from a merely ‘political’ statement or a pamphlet? A distinguished variety of authors, all specialists in the field of contemporary photography, offer their viewpoints on this debate.

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.
