Abstract
From the "blurb":
"This fully revised and updated third edition of Photography: A Critical Introduction retains its position as the only introductory textbook to examine the key debates in photographic theory and place them in their social and political contexts. It thus uniquely integrates photographic theory with photographic history and critically engages with debates about the nature of photographic seeing. The third edition retains the thematic structure and text features of previous editions but also expands coverage on photojournalism and digital imaging.
Especially designed to be accessible and user-friendly, it includes:
• Key concepts, short biographies of major thinkers and seminal references
• Updated international and contemporary case studies and examples
• A full glossary of terms and a comprehensive bibliography
• Resource information, including guides to public archives and useful websites
Individual chapters cover:
• Issues and debates in photographic theory and history • Documentary photography and photojournalism • Personal and popular photography, historically and now • The body in photography • Commodity culture and representation • Photography as art • The photo-digital
Lavishly illustrated with 100 black and white photographs and 16 pages of colour plates, the new edition includes images from Bill Brandt, Susan Derges, Rineke Dijkstra, Lee Friedlander, Fran Herbello, Hannah Hoch, Dorothea Lange, Lee Miller, Martin Parr, Ingrid Pollard, Jacob Riis, Alexander Rodchenko, Sebastiao Salgado and Andres Serrano."
