This innovative volume explores the idea that while photographs are
images, they are also objects, and this materiality is integral to
their meaning and use. The case studies presented focus on
photographs active in different institutional, political, religious
and domestic spheres, where physical properties, the nature of
their use and the cultural formations in which they function make
their 'objectness' central to how we should understand them. The
international contributors are drawn from disciplines including the
history of photogarphy, visual anthropology and art history, and
their pieces focus on areas ranging from the Netherlands, North
America and Australia to Japan, Romania and Tibet. Each shows the
methodological strategies they have developed in order to fully
exploit the idea of the materiality of photographic images.
Inspiring and instructive, the book can be used either as an
overview of this exciting new area of investigation, or as a
practical guide to the student or academic on how to understand
photographs as objects in diverse contexts.
