This edited collection explores the complex ways in which photography is used and interpreted: as a record of evidence as a form of communication as a means of social and political provocation as a mode of surveillance as a narrative of the self and as an art form. What makes photographic images unsettling and how do the re-uses and interpretations of photographic images unsettle the self-evident reality of the visual field? Taking up these themes this book examines the role of photography as a revelatory medium underscored by its complex association with history memory experience and identity. |Photography and Ontology Unsettling Images | Visual Studies
