Abstract

First shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1955, this exhibition travelled throughout the United States and to 46 countries, and was seen by over nine million people. Edward Steichen conceived, curated and designed the exhibition. The exhibition was a statement against war and the conflicts and divisions that threatened a common future for humanity after 1945. Many critics, however, have dismissed the exhibition as a form of sentimental humanism unable to address the challenges of history, politics and cultural difference. This book revises the critical debate about The Family of Man, challenging in particular the legacy of Roland Barthes's influential account of the exhibition. The contributors explore new contexts for understanding Steichen's work and they undertake radically new analyses of the formal dynamics of the exhibition.

Abstract

This book focuses on one of the most successful photography exhibitions in history, The Family of Man. With The Family of Man as its reference point, this collection of essays takes a closer look at visual and material objects. It examines their relevance for educational issues and exhibition designs. We understand these issues in their broadest sense to encompass processes of citizenship and identity formation and the adoption and/or preservation of ethical and political values with effects that range from the micro to the macro, from the national to the international level. The overall hypothesis of this volume is that images, objects and designs were created and employed as performers and performances that interacted with and attracted mass audiences. This book not only looks at how the presentational, representational and social power of images, objects and designs was deliberately used by political and cultural stakeholders during the mid-1950s, but also how these technologies of display travelled through time and space and, as historical objects, interacted-and continue to interact-with new contexts and audiences.
