Place: Towards a Geophilosophy of Photography

2021 || Paperback || Ali Shobeiri || Leiden University Press || met inkijkexemplaar

To do this, it breaks down the participatory elements of photography into six tropes: the photographer, the camera, the photograph, the image, the spectator, and the genre. Afterwards, through a rigorous theoretical analysis of each of these themes vis-à-vis the notion of place, it shows how they manifest inactive, contingent, unlocalizable, liminal, ...

It does so by carefully reconstructing and comparing the sequential series of decisions of a group of British and Dutch senior civil and military decision-m...
