Photography theory in historical perspective : case studies from contemporary art

We cite from the COVER:
"Photography Theory in Historical Perspective: Case Studies from Contemporary Art aims to contribute to the understanding of the multifaceted and complex character of the photographic medium through a number of case studies selected from photographic practices in contemporary art discussed in the context of views and theories of photography from its inception."
"Five thematic fields are covered: photography compared with painting; photography as time-based art (compared with film and performance); photography's relation to virtual places and spatial art; photography as a visual tool for social critique; and photography as a self-reflective medium. These fields are connected to issues of representation, time, place, function, and metapicture."
