This innovative volume explores the idea that while photographs are
images, they are also objects, and this materiality is integral to
their meaning and use. The case studies presented focus on
photographs active in different institutional, political, religious
and domestic spheres, where physical properties, the nature of
their use and the cultural formations in which they function make
their 'objectness' central to how we should understand them. The
book's contributions are drawn from disciplines including the
history of photography, visual anthropology and art history, with
case studies from a range of countries such as the Netherlands,
North America, Australia, Japan, Romania and Tibet. Each shows the
methodological strategies they have developed in order to fully
exploit the idea of the materiality of photographic images.

practical guide to the student or academic on how to understand
photographs as objects in diverse contexts.
