Abstract
""As a political force British documentary photography died with
the weekly periodicals, argues David Green, because
photographers and editors failed, among other things, to
anticipate the massive implications of nascent consumerism.''
The second part of the article deals with ""Thoughts on Class,
Culture, and Documentary Photography''. The author's conclusion:
""In terms of the historical change in post-war British society
that I have been talking about, the (political) failure of much
of documentary photography of the period can be attributed to an
inability to analyse the dynamics of capitalism and to
understand its contradictory and double-sided nature.
Exploitation and manipulation is all that has been seen - but we
all aspire to the products of capitalism. Not to recognise this
is to be out of touch with the real world''.
