This innovative collection demonstrates the profound effects of
feeling on our experiences and understanding of photography. It
includes essays on the tactile nature of photos, the relation of
photography to sentiment and intimacy, and the ways that affect
pervades the photographic archive. Concerns associated with the
affective turn-intimacy, alterity, and ephemerality, as well as
queerness, modernity, and loss-run through the essays. At the same
time, the contributions are informed by developments in critical
race theory, postcolonial studies, and feminist theory. As the
contributors bring affect theory to bear on photography, some
interpret the work of contemporary artists, such as Catherine Opie,
Tammy Rae Carland, Christian Boltanski, Marcelo Brodsky, Zoe
Leonard, and Rea Tajiri. Others look back, whether to the work of
the American Pictorialist F. Holland Day or to the discontent
masked by the smiles of black families posing for cartes de visite
in a Kodak marketing campaign. With more than sixty photographs,
including twenty in color, this collection changes how we see,
think about, and feel photography, past and present. Contributors.
