Résumé:
Published for the first time in English, 'The Complete Essays 1973–1991' comprises sixty-eight texts in which Luigi Ghirri explores the same subjects at the core of his photographs – the themes of identity, time, memory, vision, representation, and sense of place. As a voracious reader with a particular taste for the eclectic, Ghirri also reaches outwards from his own practice to explore the history of photography as he considers the work of Walker Evans, William Eggleston, Robert Adams and John Gossage, weaving in references to musicians, writers and painters alike. As themes and ideas overlap, the compilation of texts create a sort of dialectic chamber of curiosities that includes Gulliver, Van Gogh’s yellow house, Cézanne, Morandi’s studio, Mallarmé, the fireworks above Trani Cathedral, neo-realist films, lots of music, Francis Bacon, McLuhan’s global village, Pessoa, poetry. Together, the essays offer an unintentional yet comprehensive treatise on the history and theory of photography, and above all, they constitute a special form of autobiography.

Résumé:
Picturing Mexico: From the Camera Lucida to Film explores the early artistic and cultural factors that contributed to the emergence of film in a heterogeneous media environment at the turn of the 20th century. Focusing his attention upon lithographs and photographs of Mexico created by European and North American visitors, Fullerton argues that the introduction of the illustrated press and the popular photographic album towards the end of the 19th century transformed the private space of the printed page. He contends that the dynamics of the moving image were informed by the convergence of these media forms.

This innovative collection demonstrates the profound effects of feeling on our experiences and understanding of photography. It includes essays on the tactile nature of photos, the relation of photography to sentiment and intimacy, and the ways that affect pervades the photographic archive. Concerns associated with the affective turn—intimacy, alterity, and ephemerality, as well as queerness, modernity, and loss—run through the essays. At the same time, the contributions are informed by developments in critical race theory, postcolonial studies, and feminist theory.

Ce livre est un hommage aux images à la fois tendres et violentes de la photographe Nan Goldin. Goldin est une guerrière, une gardienne de la mémoire. Elle lutte pour qu’on n’oublie pas la vie des femmes, des sidéens, des bannis. Depuis la mort brutale de sa sœur aînée adorée, elle se bat pour le souvenir de ceux qu’elle a perdus. Goldin est une gorgone dont le regard sidère. Elle demande de poser les yeux sur ce qui est étranger, elle exige que les secrets soient dénudés. Martine Delvaux met ici ses pas dans les pas de Goldin, et avance avec elle dans la colère, la rébellion et l’amour fou.

August Sander (1876-1964), Walker Evans (1903-1975) : ils ont produit quelques-unes des icônes du XXe siècle tout en prétendant n’y être pour rien. Le « style documentaire » (la formule est d’Evans, 1935) relève du paradoxe. Par quel miracle ces photographes qui présentent leurs œuvres comme des duplications du monde, de purs reflets, qui assurent que c’est le motif qui fait la photo, que c’est le modèle qui dicte l’image, par quel miracle ces réductionnistes, ces objectivistes ont-ils non seulement engendré une suite infinie de disciples, mais aussi fourni les témoignages les plus durables sur l’Allemagne de Weimar (Sander) et sur l’Amérique de la Dépression (Evans) ?
