Does a photograph freeze a moment of time? What does it mean to
treat a photographic image as an artefact? In the visual culture of
the 21st century, do new digital and social forms change the status
of photography as archival or objective - or are they revealing
something more fundamental about photography's longstanding
relationships with time and knowledge?Archaeology and Photography
imagines a new kind of Visual Archaeology that tackles these
questions. The book reassesses the central place of Photography as
an archaeological method, and re-wires our cross-disciplinary
conceptions of time, objectivity and archives, from the History of
Art to the History of Science.Through twelve new wide-ranging and
challenging studies from an emerging generation of archaeological
thinkers, Archaeology and Photography introduces new approaches to
historical photographs in museums and to contemporaryphotographic
practice in the field. The book re-frames the relationship between
Photography and Archaeology, past and present, as more than a
metaphor or an analogy - but a shared vision.Archaeology and
Photography calls for a change in how we think about photography
and time. It argues that new archaeological accounts of duration
and presence can replace older conceptions of the photograph as a
snapshot orremnant received in the present. The book challenges us
to imagine Photography, like Archaeology, not as a representation
of the past and the reception of traces in the present but as an
ongoing transformation of objectivity and archive.Archaeology and
Photography will prove indispensable to students, researchers and
practitioners in History, Photography, Art, Archaeology,
Anthropology, Science and Technology Studies and Museum and
Heritage Studies.
