Abstract

Compositie, patronen, lichtval: waarom vinden we foto's die net schilderijen lijken zo mooi ? Met ontluisterende en hilarische voorbeelden toont Hans Aarsman in zijn nieuwe boek "De fotodetective" hoe ons kijken is voorgeprogrammeerd en welk moois we intussen over het hoofd dreigen te zien.Tot 1994, het jaar waarin hij zijn camera's demonstratief aan de wilgen hing, was Hans Aarsman een gevierd fotograaf. Tegenwoordig kijkt hij liever naar foto's van anderen. Net als zijn grote voorbeeld Sherlock Holmes doet hij dat met een scherpe en speurende blik, onder meer in zijn wekelijkse rubriek 'De Aarsman Collectie' in de Volkskrant. In "De fotodetective" onderzoekt Hans Aarsman aan de hand van foto's het verschil tussen kijken en zien, met als leidraad zijn eigen ontwikkeling van fotograaf tot beschouwer. Hij werpt prikkelende vragen op: waarom fotograferen we de onderwerpen die we fotograferen ? Kunnen foto's op Flickr.com concurreren met die van beroepsfotografen ? Welke foto's krijgen we niet te zien in de krant ? Is de digitale revolutie een zegen of een vloek ? Zijn foto's kunst ? Wat zijn de drijfveren van fotografen ?Bron : http://www.uitgeverijpodium.nl

Abstract

In one of the most eloquent accounts of photography ever devised (originally published in 1982 and unavailable for many years), the writer John Berger and the photographer Jean Mohr set out to understand the fundamental nature of photography and how it makes its impact. Asking a range of questions 'What is a photograph?' 'What do photographs mean?' 'How can they be used?' they give their answers in terms of a photograph as 'a meeting place where the interests of the photographer, the photographed, the viewer and those who are using the photography are often contradictory'. From these beginnings they develop a theory of photography that has at its centre the form's essential ambiguity, arguing that photography is totally unlike a film and has nothing to do with reportage. Rather, it constitutes 'another way of telling'. The unique combination of critic and photographer results in a work that moves beyond the landmarks established by Walter Benjamin, Roland Barthes and Susan Sontag to establish a new theory of photography. This unique combination of words and pictures includes 230 photographs by Jean Mohr.

Abstract

Photography's great success gives the impression that the major questions that have haunted the medium are now resolved. On the contrary, the most important questions about photography are just beginning to be asked. These fourteen essays, with over 200 illustrations, critically examine prevailing beliefs about the medium and suggest new ways to explain the history of photography. They are organized around the questions: What are the social consequences of aesthetic practice? How does photography construct sexual difference? How is photography used to promote class and national interests? What are the politics of photographic truth? The Contest of Meaning summarizes the challenges to traditional photographic history that have developed in the last decade out of a consciously political critique of photographic production. Contributions by a wide range of important Americans critics reexamine the complex—and often contradictory—roles of photography within society. Douglas Crimp, Christopher Phillips, Benjamin Buchloh, and Abigail Solomon Godeau examine the gradually developed exclusivity of art photography and describe the politics of canon formation throughout modernism. Catherine Lord, Deborah Bright, Sally Stein, and Jan Zita Grover examine the ways in which the female is configured as a subject, and explain how sexual difference is constructed across various registers of photographic representation. Carol Squiers, Esther Parada, and Richard Bolton clarify the ways in which photography serves as a form of mass communication, demonstrating in particular how photographic production is affected by the interests of the powerful patrons of communications. The three concluding essays, by Rosalind Krauss, Martha Rosler, and Allan Sekula, critically examine the concept of photographic truth by exploring the intentions informing various uses of "objective" images within society.
