"No one thinks straight. At least no one remembers straight. But ten years ago, things were different, weren't they? Roland Barthes once wrote that color in a photograph is like make-up on a corpse. No one is fooled. In anarchic denial of convenient truths, a young international couple meet and marry on a small Mediterranean island. Ten years later, the couple separate in part due to complications with immigration laws. Following this transcontinental rupture, fragmented histories emerge in response to the woman's encounters with a series of color snapshots. There is death here, familiar to the mourner, as the photographs issue their special powers to magically and auspiciously predict the future and simultaneously to permit the return of the dead. The woman recognizes pieces of herself as past objects indexed within photographic stills, but paradoxically, she is present, outside in this chaos trying not to fall apart. The images and their objects yawn to remind us of the reluctant destiny of all our beloved memories, bodies, and things: that is, to disintegrate. Borrowing its title from a passage in The Emigrants by W.G. Sebald, Closer to Dust is a séance, a gathering of invitees: inherently biased elegies, the images that conjured them, and the reader- viewer in attendance who is warmly invited to order these intimate fragments into cohesion."

This innovative volume explores the idea that while photographs are images, they are also objects, and this materiality is integral to their meaning and use. The case studies presented focus on photographs active in different institutional, political, religious and domestic spheres, where physical properties, the nature of their use and the cultural formations in which they function make their 'objectness' central to how we should understand them.The book's contributions are drawn from disciplines including the history of photography, visual anthropology and art history, with case studies

Longtemps méconnue, la photographie soviétique reste encore prisonnière de préjugés tenaces. Pour beaucoup, elle s’inscrit dans deux pôles bien identifiés : la photographie dite de propagande supposée dénuée d’intérêt, et l’avant-garde des années 1920 incarnée par Rodtchenko. Ces considérations abruptes doivent être largement nuancées. Bien que fortement contrôlée, la photographie soviétique qui a été préservée dans les archives et dans la presse illustrée offre une diversité comparable à celle des autres pays. Une observation attentive, une étude des différents thèmes abordés ainsi qu’une analyse des nombreux débats qu’elle a suscités permettent une compréhension plus fine des réalités de l’URSS et un regard nouveau sur l’histoire de la photographie. Saisir les évolutions et mettre les événements en perspective, tel est le sens de cette recherche menée sur une longue période allant de 1917 à 1945.
