<br/><br/> An innovativestudy of contemporary photography in France This compelling publication traces the broad arc of photography's developmentin France from the 1970s to the present day. A decade-by-decade account revealsunexpected points of convergence between practices that are not usuallyconsidered in a comparative perspective. These include photographic practicesin contemporary art, documentary, photojournalism, and fashion. Author OlgaSmith sets these practices in dialogue with French philosophy - the writings ofRoland Barthes, Jean Baudrillard, and Jacques Rancière - to produce aninnovative study of the intersections between the photographic image, text,practice, and theory. This analysis is guided by an understanding ofphotography as deeply engaged with historical, cultural, and intellectualevents that defined French national experience in the contemporary period.Landscape provides a particular focus to study issues of key significance,including national identification, colonial past, legacies of modernization andenvironmental breakdown.   This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).
