• 2010942745 abstract "The relatively new medium of photography generated, from its inception, intense debate over its merits as an art from. (It was not until late in the twentieth century, for example, that colour photography was accepted in the canon of art historical scholarship.) In Reading Photography, Sri-Kartini Leet brings together over 100 extracts from writings on different themes in the medium to explore the multiple roles of photography. Beginning with a consideration of photography as art, she charts the changes from its formalist associations and the emergence of modernism to its central place within contemporary art./ By the 1920s well-known surrealist artists were using the photograph to develop experimental techniques. Colour, frequently sidelined in 'serious' photography, is considered in its various incarnations of advertising, amateur pictures nad its adoption in the 1960s as an expressive media. The concept of the photo as a commodifying practice, blurring the boundaries between the artistic and the prosaic, is discussed. Photography was central to the post-modernist movement to question traditional notions of what constitutes art, and several authors have been selected to illustrate this development. Landscape and the city are juxtaposed to demonstrate how notions of 'place' were used in the representation of political, social and psychological states. The role of the individual in these settings is expressed in a chapter on identity and photography. Preceeded by a discussion of its means of rendering the subject an object, a chapter on photographing 'otherness' demonstrates the unattainable desire to achieve an objective view of the different natures of man. Equally, the nature of photography enables artists to dismember the body and thereby dehumanise it. Feminism and the role of the female photographer are implicated in this chapter. The final section considers the impact of the digital age. Sri-Kartini Leet's judicious selection of articles introduces the reader to a broad and enriching range of art historical comment engendered by the photograph, and makes Reading Photography an indispensable aid to the study of photography.".
