This book examines the photography's unique capacity to represent
time with a degree of elasticity and abstraction. Part
object-study, part cultural/philosophical history, it examines the
medium's ability to capture and sometimes "defy" time, while also
traveling as objects across time-and-space nexuses. The book
features studies of understudied, widespread, practices: studio
portraiture, motion studies, panoramas, racing photo finishes,
composite college class pictures, planetary photography, digital
montages, and extended-exposure images. A closer look at these
images and their unique cultural/historical contexts reveals
photography to be a unique medium for expressing changing
perceptions of time, and the anxiety its passage provokes.

Photographic subjects examines photography at royal celebrations
during the reign of Queens Wilhelmina (1898-1948) and Juliana
(1948-80), a period spanning the zenith and fall of Dutch rule in
Indonesia. It is the first monograph in English on the Dutch
monarchy and the Netherlands' modern empire in the age of mass and
amateur photography. Photographs forged imperial networks,
negotiated relations of recognition and subjecthood between
Indonesians and Dutch authorities, and informed cultural modes of
citizenship at a time of accelerated colonial expansion and major
social change in the East Indies/Indonesia. This book advances
methods in the uses of photographs for social and cultural history,
reveals the entanglement of Dutch and Indonesian histories in the
twentieth century, and provides a new interpretation of Queens
Wilhelmina and Juliana as imperial monarchs. -- .

Artist and photographer Clare Newton rediscovers and records the
faint remnants of old London, only made visible when lit by a
fleeting low winter's sun. These images are the conduits through
time, analysing the sometimes uncomfortable balance between a
struggling heritage to exist and the insatiable appetite of modern
regeneration. But deep inside East London also lies a Victorian
era. The mother of inventions, which not only stimulated change
across the world then but even now their lingering artefacts and
sayings effect us even in today's hi-tech social world. Strange but
true stories that explain how and where artefacts have come from.
Including the roots of 'Sarcasm' or the colour purple, both
invented in the east end. Or how Shoreditch got its name. This book
arose after many previous years exploration for a large exhibition
displayed before the Olympics in London, called Riches Uncovered.
The facts of which will be made into a series of photographic
studies for all to enjoy and smile over. About Clare Newton In 2001
Clare Newton was awarded the British Female Inventor of the Year,
and she has received 5 international awards for innovation. Born in
London, her creative talents were expressed at a young age, first
painting her bedroom to building wooden aeroplanes. But when she
was given her first camera, a little Minolta, at the age of 14, it
inspired her to build a dark room in the roof of her parents'
house, where she taught herself how to shoot and develop
photographs, with neighbours encouraging her with small
commissions. She took a degree in art and design in East London and
worked as a Graphic & Interior Designer for many years.
Photography really took off for her when the Olympics came to
London. She made her first large photographic installation in 2009,
'Riches Uncovered', a collection of photographic montages to
explain and document East London's disappearing heritage. After
this first project she went on to produce numerous extraordinary
community art projects, involving hundreds of children and adults.
The resulting photographic montages were displayed outdoors in
unexpected public places, encouraging all to take part, share and
learn about local heritage. Clare believes that it is through the
passion of creating participatory public projects, that art can
positively affect people in different and personal ways, even
drawing communities together. Clare's next endeavour was to create
Jump4London - the World's Longest Photograph, with 5,000 people
taking part, who appeared to jump simultaneously. Two meters high
and one kilometre in length, it was printed on 2.5 tons of
specialist photographic material, and documented an important piece
of London's history as people celebrated the 2012 Olympic Games. It
made a Double Guinness World Record as part of the Cultural
Olympiad's World Record London.

Assessing the cultural history of the dandy as a figure
traditionally gendered masculine, this wide-ranging study advances
a critical space for the discussion of the woman dandy. Modernist
Women Dandies revisits dandyism to provide an interpretative
framework for re-evaluating the literary careers of women authors
with atypical literary presence: Edith Sitwell, Nancy Cunard, and
Mina Loy. Cutting across media boundaries, it demonstrates how
their experimental poetry and portrait photographs feed into each
other, fabricating dandy authorial performances that are
simultaneously unapologetically feminine and queer. In showing how
these authors redefined the interplay between dandyism and
authorship, this book makes an important contribution to rethinking
modernist literary culture.

This book explores Maori indigenous and non-indigenous scholarship
corresponding with the term 'animism'. In addressing visual, media
and performance art, it explores the dualisms of people and things,
as well as 'who' or 'what' is credited with 'animacy'. It comprises
a diverse array of essays divided into four sections: Indigenous
Animacies, Atmospheric Animations, Animacy Hierarchies and
Sensational Animisms. Cassandra Barnett discusses artists Terri Te
Tau and Bridget Reweti and how personhood and hau (life breath)
traverse art-taonga. Artist Natalie Robertson addresses korero
(talk) with ancestors through photography. Janine Randerson and
sound artist Rachel Shearer consider the sun as animate with mauri
(life force), while Anna Gibb explores life in the algorithm.
Rebecca Schneider and Amelia Jones discuss animacy in queered and
raced formations. Stephen Zepke explores Deleuze and Guattari's
animist hylozoism and Amelia Barikin examines a mineral ontology of
art. This book will appeal to readers interested in indigenous and
non-indigenous entanglements and those who seek different
approaches to new materialism, the post-human and the anthropocene.

Throughout photography's history, failure has played an essential,
recurring part in the development and perceived value of this
medium. Exploring a range of failures - individual and
institutional, technological and historiographical - Photography
and Failure asks what it means to fail and considers how this
narrative of failure has shaped our understanding of photography.
From the trial-and-error beginnings of photochemistry to poor
business decisions influenced by fickle public opinion and taste,
the founders and early practitioners of photography frequently
faced bankruptcy and ignominy. Alongside these individual
'failures', this collection of essays examines the role of museums
in rediscovering, preserving and presenting photographs within
institutions, as well as technological limitations, such as the
problematic panoramic lens or the digital, archival failures of
Snapchat. Moving beyond the physical photograph and these
processes, the book also investigates the limitations of
photographs themselves, as purveyors of truth, time, space,
documentary realism and social change, whether these failures are
used to effect or not. Finally, the book probes the
historiographical failures affecting the discipline, drawing on key
debates, such as the perceived over-emphasis on European and
American photography, and the place of photography theory in
contemporary art practice. Blurring the boundaries between
traditional binaries of art and non-art photography, amateur and
professional practice, and individual and corporate perspectives,
Photography and Failure presents a new approach to understanding
and evaluating photographic history.
Does a photograph freeze a moment of time? What does it mean to
treat a photographic image as an artefact? In the visual culture of
the 21st century, do new digital and social forms change the status
of photography as archival or objective - or are they revealing
something more fundamental about photography's longstanding
relationships with time and knowledge?Archaeology and Photography
imagines a new kind of Visual Archaeology that tackles these
questions. The book reassesses the central place of Photography as
an archaeological method, and re-wires our cross-disciplinary
conceptions of time, objectivity and archives, from the History of
Art to the History of Science.Through twelve new wide-ranging and
challenging studies from an emerging generation of archaeological
thinkers, Archaeology and Photography introduces new approaches to
historical photographs in museums and to contemporaryphotographic
practice in the field. The book re-frames the relationship between
Photography and Archaeology, past and present, as more than a
metaphor or an analogy - but a shared vision.Archaeology and
Photography calls for a change in how we think about photography
and time. It argues that new archaeological accounts of duration
and presence can replace older conceptions of the photograph as a
snapshot orremnant received in the present. The book challenges us
to imagine Photography, like Archaeology, not as a representation
of the past and the reception of traces in the present but as an
ongoing transformation of objectivity and archive.Archaeology and
Photography will prove indispensable to students, researchers and
practitioners in History, Photography, Art, Archaeology,
Anthropology, Science and Technology Studies and Museum and
Heritage Studies.

From Roentgen to Rembrandt, Hounsfield to Hollywood and Vesalius to
videogames, Imagining Imaging explores the deeply entwined
relationship between art (and visual-based culture) and radiology /
medical imaging. Including artworks from numerous historical eras
representing varied geographic locations and visual traditions,
alongside a diverse range of contemporary artists, Dr Jackson
argues that the foundations of medical image construction and
interpretation were laid down in artistic innovations dating back
hundreds and thousands of years. Since the discovery of X-rays,
artists and moviemakers have, in turn, drawn rich inspiration from
radiographic imagery and concepts, but the process of
cross-pollination between art and science has continued, with
creative endeavour continuing to mould medical imaging examinations
to this day. Blending a unique mix of art, science and medical
history, together with aspects of visual neurophysiology and
psychology, Imagining Imaging is essential reading for
radiologists, radiographers and artists alike. Peppered with
familiar TV and film references, personal insights into the
business of image interpretation, and delivered in an accessible
and humorous style, the book will also appeal to anyone who enjoys
looking at pictures. Key features: Engaging synthesis of art and
medical history, combined with anecdotes and experiences from a
working clinical radiologist Diverse range of visual reference
points including astronomy, botany and cartography, alongside
comprehensive discussion of medical imaging modalities including
plain radiography, ultrasound, CT and MRI 200 full colour
