Originally published in the 1970s, her groundbreaking collection remains uncannily prescient and profoundly precise. With her singular searching eye, and her refusal to buckle under received wisdom, she presents a rousing critique of the functions of imagery—to seduce, to advertise, to evoke, to commemorate, to conspire, to conceal—across six essays. The result is a damning portrait of the ways we use imagery to manufacture reality and authority that feels as if it were written today.

Summary:
''Adjusting the lens'' explores the role of photography in contemporary renegotiations of the past and in Indigenous art activism. In moving and powerful case studies, contributors analyze photographic practices and heritage related to Indigenous communities in Canada, Australia, Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the United States. In the process, they call attention to how Indigenous people are using old photographs in new ways to empower themselves, revitalize community identity, and decolonize the colonial record. ''Adjusting the lens'' presents original research in this emerging field in Indigenous photography studies, juxtaposing the historical and the contemporary across a range of geographically and culturally distinctive contexts. The transnational perspective of this exciting collection challenges old ways of thinking and meaningfully advances the crucially important project of reclamation.

The collection she has assembled under the auspices of the Ydessa Hendeles Art Foundation is one of the most original, prescient, and highly regarded contemporary art collections in the world - if one of the lesser known. Large parts of it are being shown for the first time in Haus der Kunst in Munich, assembled and arranged by Hendeles; this book has been conceptualized by her in conjunction with the exhibition. In typical Hendeles fashion, "Partners" combines artworks, press photos, anonymous snapshots, and everyday articles. Maurizio Cattelan's HIM, a depiction of Hitler on his knees, plays a key role, as does a large installation of thousands of historical snapshots of teddy bears.

Summary:
Photography was invented between the publication of Adam Smith’s ''The Wealth of Nations'' and Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’s ''The Communist Manifesto.'' Taking the intertwined development of capitalism and the camera as their starting point, the essays collected here investigate the relationship between capitalist accumulation and the photographic image, and ask whether photography might allow us to refuse capitalism’s violence—and if so, how? Drawn together in productive disagreement, the essays in this collection explore the relationship of photography to resource extraction and capital accumulation, from 1492 to the postcolonial; the camera’s potential to make visible critical understandings of capitalist production and society, especially economies of class and desire; and the ways the camera and the image can be used to build cultural and political counterpublics from which a democratic struggle against capitalism might emerge.

This collection of essays places travel at the center of Sebald's poetics and shows how his appropriation of travel in its myriad historical and cultural forms -- tourism, the pilgrimage, the walking vacation, travel as escape -- works to craft intertextual narratives in which the pursuit of individual life stories is mapped onto a wider European cultural history of loss(...)

Summary:
This collection of essays places travel at the center of Sebald's poetics and shows how his appropriation of travel in its myriad historical and cultural forms -- tourism, the pilgrimage, the walking vacation, travel as escape -- works to craft intertextual narratives in which the pursuit of individual life stories is mapped onto a wider European cultural history of loss and destruction. Following these cues, the contributors wander the various modalities of travel in Sebald's writing in order to discover how walking, flying, sojourning, and other kinds of peregrination inform the relationship between writing, reading, memory, and place in Sebald's work. At the same time, the essays uncover in innovative ways the affinities between Sebald and literary travelers like Bruce Chatwin, Franz Kafka, Adalbert Stifter, Christoph Ransmayr, and Joseph Conrad.

Présenté pour la première fois à la Light Gallery de New York, ce journal visuel de Stephen Shore à travers les Etats-Unis déconcerta la critique. Ses centaines d'images en couleur, traitées en toute simplicité au laboratoire Kodak du New Jersey, contrastaient vivement avec les tirages noir et blanc formels représentatifs de la photographie artistique de l'époque. En dépit d'un accueil peu favorable, l'exposition fut reprise dans son intégralité par Weston Naef, conservateur de la photographie au Metropolitan Museum de New York qui accueille aujourd'hui 220 de ses photographies. Surfaces américaines est depuis ce jour une référence incontournable en matière de description de notre univers consumériste. Marchant sur les traces de Walker Evans et de Robert Frank lorsqu'ils traversèrent eux-mêmes les Etats-Unis, ce corpus artistique ne cesse d'influence de jeunes photographes. Ce livre réuni la plus grande collection d'images de cette série et les présente pour la première fois dans l'ordre chronologique. Surfaces américaines retrace l'extraordinaire périple de Stephen Shore, qui se rendit d'abord dans le Sud profond des Etats-Unis avant de suivre la Route 66 de Flagstaff à Chicago et de revenir à New York afin de poursuivre son journal visuel dans sa ville natale.

For the most part, early death photographs were commissioned or taken by relatives of the deceased and preserved in the home as part of the family collection. Once thought inappropriate and macabre, today these photographs are considered to have a beneficial role in bereavement therapy. Photography and Death reveals the significance of such images, formerly dismissed as disturbing or grotesque, and places them within the context of changing cultural attitudes towards death and loss. Excluding images of death through war, violence, or natural disasters, Audrey Linkman concentrates on photographs of natural deaths within the family. She identifies the range of death-related photographs that have been produced in both Europe and North America since the 1840s and charts changes in their treatment through the decades.
