Visions of Nature : How Landscape Photography Shaped Settler Colonialism
Visions of Nature revives the work of late nineteenth-century landscape photographers who shaped the environmental attitudes of settlers in the colonies of the Tasman World and in California.Despite having little association with one another, these photographers developed remarkably similar visions of nature.They rode a wave of interest in wilderness imagery and made pictures that were hung in settler drawing rooms, perused in albums, projected in theaters, and re-created on vacations.In both the American West and the Tasman World, landscape photography fed into settler belonging and produced new ways of thinking about territory and history.During this key period of settler revolution, a generation of photographers came to associate “nature” with remoteness, antiquity, and emptiness, a perspective that disguised the realities of Indigenous presence and reinforced colonial fantasies of environmental abundance.This book lifts the work of these photographers out of their provincial contexts and repositions it within a new comparative frame.

How Photography Changed Philosophy
By analysing the philosophical lineage of notions of representation, time, being, light, exposure, image, and truth, this book argues that photography is the visual manifestation of the philosophical account of how humans encounter beings in the present. Daniel Rubinstein argues that traditional understandings of photography are determined by the notions of verisimilitude and representation, and this limits our understanding of photographic materiality.It is suggested that the photographic image must be closely read not for the objects, events and situations represented in it, but for the insights it affords into the structure of contemporary consciousness. The book will be of interest to scholars working in photography, media studies, philosophy, fine art, and art history.

How Photography Became Contemporary Art : Inside an Artistic Revolution from Pop to the Digital Age
A leading critic’s acclaimed story of “the photo boom” during the crucial decades of the 1970s and ’80s “Grundberg . . . is a vibrant, opinionated, authoritative guide to the medium’s past and present.”—Jackie Wullschläger, Financial Times When Andy Grundberg landed in New York in the early 1970s as a budding writer, photography was at the margins of the contemporary art world.By 1991, when he left his post as critic for the New York Times, photography was at the vital center of artistic debate.Grundberg writes eloquently and authoritatively about photography’s “boom years,” chronicling the medium’s increasing role within the most important art movements of the time, from Earth Art and Conceptual Art to performance and video.He also traces photography’s embrace by museums and galleries, as well as its politicization in the culture wars of the 1980s and ’90s. Grundberg reflects on the landmark exhibitions that defined the moment and his encounters with the work of leading photographers—many of whom he knew personally—including Gordon Matta-Clark, Cindy Sherman, and Robert Mapplethorpe.He navigates crucial themes such as photography’s relationship to theory as well as feminism and artists of color.Part memoir and part history, this perspective by one of the period’s leading critics ultimately tells a larger story about the 1970s and 1980s through the medium of photography.
