Abstract

This book looks at the roots of a global visual news culture: the trade in illustrations of the news between European illustrated newspapers in the mid-nineteenth century. In the age of nationalism, we might suspect these publications to be filled with nationally produced content, supporting a national imagined community. However, the large-scale transnational trade in illustrations, which this book uncovers, points out that nineteenth-century news consumers already looked at the same world. By exchanging images, European illustrated newspapers provided them with a shared, transnational, experience.

Abstract

The older paradigm for photojournalists was to simply record events, with the hopeand frequently the expectationthat people and their governments would be moved to respond to the injustices pictured, as witnessed by the impact of certain images during the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War. Given evolving media and political climates, however, including the billions of images now available online from all kinds of sources, the purpose and effectiveness of media, in particular of visual journalism, has been called into question. Bending the Frame, by author and critic Fred Ritchin, addresses the new and emerging potentials for visual media to impact society. Also encompassing online efforts, uses of video, and a diverse range of books and exhibitions, this volume aims for as wide-ranging and far-reaching a discussion as possible, asking the critical question: how can images promote new thinking and make a difference in the world? &#13;&#13;Bending the Frame: Photojournalism, Documentary, and the Citizen is supported by a grant from the Open Society Foundations.&#13;&#13;

Abstract

À partir des années 1970, la photographie bénéficie en France de la création d’institutions et d’événements spécifiques, de son intégration et de sa valorisation dans les organismes culturels et d’une légitimation dans le champ du marché de l’art. La reconnaissance du médium s’articule notamment autour de l’acceptation ou du rejet de la photographie de reportage. Cette dynamique permet aux acteurs du milieu photographique d’ériger une nouvelle figure, l’auteur, qui symbolise à terme l’accession à l’identité de créateur et de producteur culturel et justifie la circulation des photographies, des pages de la presse aux cimaises des galeries. Ce processus repose dès lors sur l’acceptation des fonctionnalités du médium, assortie d’une valorisation de la créativité du photographe. Par une approche disciplinaire transversale, cet ouvrage se propose d’intégrer des éléments de compréhension d’ordres historique, juridique, esthétique et culturel.

Abstract

On sait les images du photojournalisme prises entre leur fonction (journalistique) et leur valeur esthétique (photographique) : entre le magazine et le musée, « derniers tableaux » reprenant à leur compte les questions de la peinture d’histoire. Ce livre offre des exemples - oeuvres, expositions - qui illustrent, et en même temps excèdent cette opposition, et demandent l’élargissement du champ de cette recherche. C’est la vision d’un photojournalisme et d’un art contemporains l’un de l’autre, partageant les mêmes ambitions de «rendre compte du réel», de témoignage, de « fonction critique », les mêmes doutes sur leur capacité à le faire, et l’usage (la récupération, l’atténuation) dont ils peuvent faire l’objet.

Abstract

In this compelling work, Ariella Azoulay reconsiders the political and ethical status of photography. Describing what she calls "the civil contract of photography," she gives an account of the power relations that sustain and make possible photographic meanings. Azoulay argues that anyone - even a stateless person - who addresses others through photographs or is addressed by photographs, can become a member of the citizenry of photography. The civil contract of photography enables anyone to pursue political agency and resistance through photography. Photography, Azoulay insists, cannot be understood separately from the many catastrophes of recent history. The crucial arguments of her book concern two groups with flawed or nonexistent citizenship: the Palestinian noncitizens of Israel and women in Western societies. Azoulay analyzes Israeli press photographs of violent episodes in the Occupied Territories, and interprets various photographs of women - from famous images by stop-motion photographer Eadweard Muybridge to recent photographs from Abu Ghraib prison. Azoulay asks the question: under what legal, political, or cultural conditions does it become possible to see and to show disaster that befalls those who can claim only incomplete or nonexistent citizenship? Drawing on such key texts in the history of modern citizenship as the Declaration of the Rights of Man together with relevant work by Giorgio Agamben, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Susan Sontag, and Roland Barthes, Azoulay explores the visual field of catastrophe, injustice, and suffering in our time. Her book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the disasters of recent history - and the consequences of how these events and their victims have been represented.
