Formerly a British colony, the island of Cyprus is now a divided
country, where histories of political and cultural conflicts, as
well as competing identities, are still contested. Cyprus provides
the ideal case study for this innovative exploration, extensively
illustrated, of how the practice of photography in relation to its
political, cultural and economic contexts both contributes and
responds to the formation of identity. Contributors from Cyprus,
Greece, the UK and the USA, representing diverse disciplines, draw
from photography theory, art history, anthropology and sociology to
explore how the island and its people have been represented
photographically. They reveal how the different gazes- colonial,
political, gendered, and within art photography- contribute to the
creation of individual and national identities and, by extension,
to the creation and re-creation of imagery of Cyprus as place.
While Photography and Cyprus focuses on one geographical and
cultural territory, the questions this book asks and the themes and
arguments it follows apply also to other places characterized by
their colonial heritage. The intriguing example of Cyprus thus
serves as a fitting test-ground for current debates relating to
photography, place and identity.
