Abstract
We cite from the cover:
"Photography, Anthropology and History examines the complex historical relationship between photography and anthropology, and in particular the strong emergence of the contemporary relevance of historical images. Thematically organized, and focusing on the visual practices developed within anthropology as a discipline, this book brings together a range of contemporary and methodologically innovative approaches to the historical image within anthropology. Importantly, it also demonstrates the ongoing relevance of both the historical image and the notion of the archive to recent anthropological thought. Scholars from around the world explore a variety of case studies, ranging from discussions of the historical antecedents of anthropology's interest in visual media, to the role of institutions in Britain and America in shaping the anthropological archive, the role of photography in British, German and Japanese fieldwork traditions, and the excavation of indigenous histories within Western archives and contemporary visual repatriation projects in North America and Melanesia."
