This selection of women's writings on photography proposes a new
and different history, demonstrating the ways in which women's
perspectives have advanced photographic criticism over 150 years,
focusing it more deeply and, with the advent of feminist
approaches, increasingly challenging its orthodoxies. Included in
the book are Rosalind Krauss, Ingrid Sischy, Vicki Goldberg and
Carol Squiers.
How has the seaside been photographed? From the roaring waves of
the nineteenth century through the reportage of the 1960s and the
critical documentary of the 80s and 90s, to what is perhaps the
more intimate work of the last ten years. No-one can tell it
exactly the way it is. We all have a vision of the seaside which is
uniquely our own. Memories, false and real, are aided and abetted
by photography, a unique, fascinating, but in the end unreliable
source of evidence. And time changes everything. What remains are a
set of substantial fragments, thoughts along the way, obsessions,
records, constructions, journeys. Ours for the taking
Available for the first time in an updated, compact paperback
format, this book offers a stunning photographic survey of Ireland
over the last seven decades, from the 1950s to the present day.
Organized decade by decade, the images show the lingering influence
of rural life in the 1950s; the hidden story of ordinary Irish men
and women, living in a divided society during the troubled years of
the sectarian conflict; the South's huge economic growth at the end
of 1990s, baptised the 'Celtic Tiger', and Ireland's perpetual
quest for identity, from the 1950s to the present day. Each decade
is commented on by a notable contemporary Irish literary figure:
Anthony Cronin, Nuala O'Faolain, Eamonn McCann, Fintan O'Toole,
Colm Toibin and Anne Enright invite the reader to dive into the
social and political context of each period, providing a textual
backdrop to the photographers' work.
Drawn from Disability & Society over the period 1997-2012, the
twelve chapters in this book address a range of personal, cultural
and institutional arenas in which challenges experienced by
disabled children are played out. The book includes a mix of
theoretical and applied material offering both powerful conceptual
tools and practical insights, enabling readers to connect the work
of recent decades to their own research and questions about
disability and childhood. Readers will find this book an invaluable
resource for understanding what we have learned about disability
and childhood through the pages of the world leading international
journal in the field. The collection makes available a
well-informed understanding of conditions, policies and practices
that create disability in children's lives so that we can further
the struggle for a more inclusive future in which inequalities
structured around impairment are removed. The importance of
children's own voices for resisting disablement in childhood is
clearly foregrounded in this invaluable collection. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Disability &
Society.

The first anthology of its kind, Illuminations presents a
comprehensive selection of women's writings on photography. It
proposes a new and different history by demonstrating the ways in
which women's perspectives have advanced photographic criticism
over the last 150 years.
Extraordinarily wide-ranging in its scope, this collection
chronicles the role of women in photography as critics, historians,
and practitioners. Readers will find Julia Margaret Cameron's bold
description of her photographic method, Rosalind Krauss's
exploration of what the camera means for Surrealism, Margaret
Bourke-White and Carol Squiers with differing perspectives on Life
magazine, as well as essays by Eudora Welty, Susan Sontag, Lucy
Lippard, Berenice Abbott, Dorthea Lange, and many others.
Illuminations begins with a short piece on the daguerreotype by
Elizabeth Barrett Browning then moves through the avant-garde
influence of Dada, Bauhaus, and surrealism, to fashion and portrait
photography, continuing with documentary and reportage, the
emergence of feminist analysis, and postmodern and postcolonial
criticism. Encompassing many varied points of view, this volume
offers pieces on individual photographers such as Diane Arbus,
Ansel Adams, Barbara Kruger, Edward Weston, and Cindy Sherman along
with theoretical work by contemporary writers including Jane
Gallop, Coco Fusco, and Laura Mulvey.
An historic anthology, Illuminations shows that women have been
writing about photography from its beginnings and have intervened
in the key debates of the past century and a half. It will welcomed
by those interested in photography, gender studies, and women and
the arts.Contributors. Berenice Abbott, Dawn Ades, Susan H. Aiken,
