Résumé:
Today, in the age of CCTV, drones, medical body scans, and satellite images, photography is increasingly decoupled from human agency and human vision. In Nonhuman Photography, Joanna Zylinska offers a new philosophy of photography, going beyond the human-centric view to consider imaging practices from which the human is absent. Zylinska argues further that even those images produced by humans, whether artists or amateurs, entail a nonhuman, mechanical element—that is, they involve the execution of technical and cultural algorithms that shape our image-making devices as well as our viewing practices. At the same time, she notes, photography is increasingly mobilized to document the precariousness of the human habitat and tasked with helping us imagine a better tomorrow. With its conjoined human-nonhuman agency and vision, Zylinska claims, photography functions as both a form of control and a life-shaping force.

Résumé:
Engagé dans un projet artistique, Philippe Bazin prend parti et analyse des oeuvres de Lewis Baltz, Allan Sekula, Martha Rosler ou encore Bruno Serralongue, ainsi que de photographes moins connus comme Géraldine Millo, David Marié ou Mahaut Lavoine. Les textes rassemblés créent une unité de réflexion autour d'une photographie critique des contextes historiques, esthétiques et idéologiques dans lesquels elle se crée aujourd'hui, une "photographie documentaire critique". Chaque texte ouvre une nouvelle facette de cette photographie, alors que l'ensemble est introduit par un texte qui entend proposer une méthodologie de travail, une "attitude documentaire". Le livre explore ainsi les apports d'une posture critique, dans tous les sens du terme - appréciation, épreuve, seuil, distance, tension, crise, analyse - et s'achève par la formulation d'un "manifeste documentaire" (écrit avec la philosophe Christiane Vollaire).

Résumé:
Réalité éminemment subjective, objet vivant et évolutif, le paysage reflète aussi à travers ses mutations les transformations de la société. Ancré historiquement dans l’art des jardins, le projet de paysage a rencontré plus récemment de nouvelles échelles avec l’aménagement des villes et des territoires, suscitant argumentations et débats. Dès ses origines, la photographie a été associée au paysage pour le documenter, témoigner de ses évolutions, le promouvoir, le défendre. Le rôle de la photographie est bien sûr variable en fonction des contextes culturels et des périodes historiques et renvoie à des situations de commande variées.

Résumé:
Dyer takes the viewer/reader on a wildly original journey through both iconic and unseen images from the archive, including eighteen previously unpublished color photographs. The book encompasses most of Winogrand’s themes and subjects and remains broadly faithful to the chronological and geographical facts of his life, but Dyer’s responses to the photographs are unorthodox, eye-opening, and often hilarious. This inimitable combination of photographer and writer, images and text, itself offers what Dyer claims for Winogrand’s photography—an education in seeing.

Résumé:
Victor Burgin is one of the most influential artists and writers working today. He came to prominence as a key ?gure in the Conceptual Art of the late 1960s. After turning to photography in his artistic practice he produced a series of groundbreaking theoretical essays that drew on semiotics, psychoanalysis and feminism in order to think through the ideological role of photographs in the production of beliefs and values, and in the understanding of memory, history, subjectivity and space. This collection brings together for the ?rst time Victor Burgin’s writings related speci?cally to the camera, following the shifts and nuances in his thinking over nearly ?ve decades. Moreover, it allows us to chart the evolution of what the camera was and is, and how its affects are to be understood.

Résumé:
Walker Evans’s 'Kitchen Corner, Tenant Farmhouse, Hale County, Alabama' shows a painstakingly clean-swept corner in the house of a family of white sharecroppers. Taken in 1936, the photograph was not published until 1960, when it was included in a new edition of Evans and James Agee’s classic 'Let Us Now Praise Famous Men'. The 1960 reissue of the book had an enormous impact on perceptions of the Great Depression and its effects on the American South. Olivier Richon’s detailed examination of the image, reveals unexpected visual and literary associations. Richon argues that Evans employs a photographic form that privileges detachment, calling attention to overlooked objects and the architecture of the dispossessed.
