内容説明
This book examines the politics - both implicit and explicit - informing photographic criticism, history and practice. As a revisionist approach to the medium's history, an analysis of photographic modernism and the institutions promoting it, and a feminist exploration of the camera's role in producing (and reproducing) social and sexual ideology, the volume addresses its subject from a variety of perspectives. Since an important aspect of photographic politics is sexual politics, (both in the sense of women's historic professional exclusion from photographic practice, and in the sense of their status as objects rather than subjects of the camera's gaze), the author features the work of a feminist photographer and her attempt to reckon with the sexual politics that photography normally maintains. This, in turn, provides the bridge which takes up certain themes in both a historic repressed context to illuminate questions in light of contemporary practice.

内容説明
This study examines the politics of photographic criticism, history and practice. It is a revisionist approach to the history of photography, a critique of photographic modernism and the institutions promoting it, and a feminist exploration of the camera's role in producing (and reproducing) dominant social and sexual ideology. Considering the role of cultural institutions - art historians, collectors, and dealers in construction histories of photography - Solomon-Godeau critiques such institutionalized aesthetics while offering an implied counter-history of the medium. She considers also the place of photography within post-modernism, tracing its evolution from a critical practice to a stylistic option. Lastly, Solomon-Godeau examines the work of a feminist photographer who seeks to counter the sexual politics that photography normally confirms. This, in turn, includes themes concerning the massive production of photographic erotica and pornography that are taken up and considered in relation to contemporary feminist theory and art practice.
