The Lives of Images, edited by Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa, is a set
of contemporary thematic readers designed for educators, students,
practicing photographers, and others interested in the ways images
function within a wider set of cultural practices. The series
tracks the many movements and "lives" of images-their tendency to
accumulate, circulate, and transform through different geographies,
cultures, processes, institutions, states, uses, and times. Volume
2 in this series, Analogy, Attunement, and Attention, addresses the
complex relationships that the reproducible image creates with its
viewers, their bodies, their minds, and their sense of the physical
and metaphysical world. The selection addresses the image's role in
the social constitution of individual and collective identity, in
social practices of resistance to the structural violences of
racism, or in relation to state exercises of power. Of particular
importance in this volume are questions of our changing
relationship to space and to selfhood as mediated by the image and
by the many networked technologies and norms built around it.
Essays in the volume ask: what modes of attention are required of
us as viewers and agents of image circulation? The question of how
image technologies provide us with an array of freedoms is here
combined with and read against the many ways images are deployed to
reorient, repress, or reduce our field of vision-thus affecting our
capacity to see and to act in social space. Contributions by Victor
Burgin, Judith Butler, Tina Campt, Sarah Jane Cervenak, Harun
Farocki, Tom Holert, Thomas Keenan, Rabih Mroue, Vivian Sobchack,
and Tiziana Terranova
The Lives of Images, edited by Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa, is a
series of readers designed for those interested in the ways images
function within a wider set of cultural practices. Volume I of the
series, Repetition, Reproduction, Circulation, addresses the
multiple life cycles of the image-its modes of dispersion,
reception, consumption, and aggregation-and the significance of
technological reproduction for contemporary forms of social,
cultural, and political life. Volume I of the series, Repetition,
Reproduction, Circulation, addresses the multiple life cycles of
the image-its modes of dispersion, reception, consumption, and
aggregation-and the significance of technological reproduction for
contemporary forms of social, cultural, and political life. The
image is considered both a tool for liberation and a means of
repression within the evolving structures of modern life. The
essays consider the implications of the nature and effect of the
reproducible image on the categories, shapes, and aims of
contemporary art and society. Further grounded by two interviews
with practitioners in the field, Repetition, Reproduction,
Circulation promises to be an accessible, rigorous, and timely
resource for all students, educators, and practitioners of
photography.
