Summary:
Taking up where "Notations in Passing" left off, "Riding 1st Class on the Titanic" encompasses Nathan Lyons's work from 1974 to the present. Like the earlier book, this one consists primarily of a series of paired images, beautifully sequenced by the photographer, with very little text. Found language, such as that on building facades and signs, plays a prominent role in many of the sequences. The book, which accompanies a traveling exhibition organized by the Addison Gallery of American Art, contains a foreword by Adam Weinberg, Director of the Addison Gallery, and an essay by Leroy Searle. The title refers to the paradox of the Titanic, a symbol of invulnerability that became the carrier of our ultimate vulnerability. Lyons's work investigates the value systems that we have embraced, only to discover that their elusive meanings do more to challenge our belief systems than to reinforce them.

Summary:
Accompanying the British Army during its decisive foray into China in 1860, Felice Beato was the first photographer to document a military campaign in progress. He captured not only the immediacy of war, the aftermath of battle, and strategic military positions, but also the sumptuous new Summer Palace before its destruction by the British. His photographic record of the Second Opium War consisted of approximately 100 images, including a number of panoramic views, which survive in the form of private albums orignally compiled by British officers as a record of their victorious campaign. In addition to providing a strikingly beautiful glimpse of nineteenth-century China, these images also reveal how photography functioned as an integral component of British imperialism by shaping perceptions about a distant country and its culture. This publication accompanies a major exhibition of Beato's work in China.

Summary:
Focusing on early nineteenth-century England, and on the works and texts of the inventor of paper photography, William Henry Fox Talbot, Singular Images, Failed Copies historicizes the conceptualization of photography in that era as part of a major historical change. Treating photography not merely as a medium or a system of representation but also as an epistemology, Vered Maimon challenges today's prevalent association of the early photograph with the camera obscura. Instead, she points to material, formal, and conceptual differences between those two types of images by considering the philosophical and aesthetic premises linked with early photography. Through this analysis she argues that the emphasis in Talbot's accounts on the removal of the artist's hand in favor of the pencil of nature did not mark a shift from manual to mechanical and more accurate or objective systems of representation. In Singular Images, Failed Copies, Maimon shows that the perception of the photographic image in the 1830s and 1840s was in fact symptomatic of a crisis in the epistemological framework that had informed philosophical, scientific, and aesthetic thought for two centuries.

Aux fractures ontologiques que la technologie numérique fait subir à la photographie s'ajoutent des mutations profondes de ses valeurs sociales et fonctionnelles. La culture visuelle post-photographique est ainsi marquée, d'un côté, par une virulente remise en question de la notion d'auteur et, de l'autre, par la légitimation des pratiques appropriationistes. Dans ce nouveau contexte, La condition post-photographique nous invite à nous interroger sur la nature de la création et sur les critères de l'«artisticité».
