Recent decades have seen a flourishing interest in and speculation
about the origins of photography. Spurred by rediscoveries of
'first' photographs and proclamations of photography's death in the
digital age, scholars have been rethinking who and what invented
the medium. Photography and Its Origins reflects on this interest
in photography's beginnings by reframing it in critical and
specifically historiographical terms. How and why do we write about
the origins of the medium? Whom or what do we rely on to construct
those narratives? What's at stake in choosing to tell stories of
photography's genesis in one way or another? And what kind of work
can those stories do? Edited by Tanya Sheehan and Andres Mario
Zervigon, this collection of 16 original essays, illustrated with
32 colour images, showcases prominent and emerging voices in the
field of photography studies. Their research cuts across
disciplines and methodologies, shedding new light on old questions
about histories and their writing. Photography and Its Origins will
serve as a valuable resource for students and scholars in art
history, visual and media studies, and the history of science and
technology.
