Photography and the Contemporary Cultural Condition : Commemorating the Present Hardback
by Peter D. Osborne
Part of the Routledge Advances in Art and Visual Studies series
Hardback
Description
In this book, Osborne demonstrates why and how photography as photography has survived and flourished since the rise of digital processes, when many anticipated its dissolution into a generalised system of audio-visual representations or its collapse under the relentless overload of digital imagery.
He examines how photography embodies, contributes to, and even in effect critiques how the contemporary social world is now imagined, how it is made present and how the concept and the experience of the Present itself is produced.
Osborne bases his discussions primarily in cultural studies and visual cultural studies.
Through an analysis of different kinds of photographic work in distinct contexts, he demonstrates how aspects of photography that once appeared to make it vulnerable to redundancy turn out to be the basis of its survival and have been utilised by much important photographic work of the last three decades.
