Picturing America: Photography and the Sense of Place argues that
photography is a prevalent practice of making American places. Its
collected essays epitomize not only how pictures situate us in a
specific place, but also how they create a sense of such mutable
place-worlds. Understanding photographs as prime sites of knowledge
production and advocates of socio-political transformations, a
transnational set of scholars reveals how images enact both our
perception and conception of American environments. They
investigate the power photography yields in shaping our ideas of
self, nation, and empire, of private and public space, through
urban, landscape, wasteland and portrait photography. The volume
radically reconfigures how pictures alter the development of
American places in the past, present, and future.
