The "public" life of photographs

Uittreksel

"The “Public” Life of Photographs features nine essays by Geoffrey Batchen, Nathalie Boulouch, Heather Diack, Andrڳe Gunthert, Sophie Hackett, Vincent Lavoie, Olivier Lugon, Mary Panzer and Joel Snyder. These contributors - international curators and scholars from a range of disciplines - examine the emergence of photography as mass culture: through studios and public spaces; by the press; through editorial strategies promoting popular and vernacular photography; and through the dissemination of photographic images in the art world. The book is edited by Thierry Gervais, Head of Research at the Ryerson Image Centre, and an Assistant Professor at Ryerson University."--Publisher's website, viewed November 9, 2016.
