Products of modernity, postcards continue to provoke comment
today as in the nineteenth century. With their unique status as
interdisciplinary image-objects that cross lines of geography,
economy, and gender, postcards epitomize the complex history of
visual culture. These often sweet, nostalgic, inexpensive mementos
of commercial culture have also been carriers, even instigators, of
colonialist exoticism and political propaganda. They straddle the
by now largely obliterated line between "high" and "low" art,
between an earlier modernist art history and more recent work in
visual culture. This fully illustrated volume is the first of its
kind to bring together the latest interdisciplinary research on
postcards as a significant area of scholarly inquiry.
In addition to the editors, the contributors are Rebecca J.
DeRoo, Ellen Handy, Elizabeth B. Heuer, Timothy Van Laar, Annelies
Moors, Cary Nelson, John O'Brian, Naomi Schor, Kimberly A. Smith,
Rachel Snow, Nancy Stieber, and Andres Mario Zervigon.
