Drawing on the work of Barthes, Eco, Foucault, Baudrillard, Burgin
and Tagg, and on the historians of mentalities, War and Photography
presents a theoretical approach to the understanding of press
photography in its historical and contemporary context. Brothers
applies her argument with special reference to French and British
newspaper images of the Spanish Civil War, a selection of which is
presented in the book. Rejecting analyses based upon the content of
the images alone, she argues that photographic meaning is largely
predetermined by its institutional and cultural context. Acting as
witnesses despite themselves, photographs convey a wealth of
information not about any objective reality, but about the
collective attitudes and beliefs particular to the culture in which
they operate.
