Bloomsbury USA 3pl Picturing the Ottoman Armenian World
Book SynopsisDavid Low is a photographic historian based in London, UK. He received his PhD from the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London, UK.Trade Review"Picturing the Ottoman Armenian World powerfully fills the most glaring lacunae in photography studies of the Middle East: a critical and rigorous deep dive into the central role of the Armenians in the history of Armenians in the history of Ottoman photography. Low gifts us a scrupulous and erudite social and art history of Armenian photography that promises not only to change how we think of Ottoman visual culture but also shakes how we understand the history of photography writ large." * Stephen Sheehi, Wellesley College, USA *“Low provides a ground-breaking study of photography from a neglected region of the Ottoman Empire. He tells the compelling story of multi-generational Armenian families of photographers, whose work was long believed lost in the 1915 genocide. An important contribution to both the history of photography and the social history of Ottoman Armenians.” * Armen T.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Making the Modern Turkish Citizen
Book SynopsisFeaturing over 100 colour images, this book explores the photographic self-representations of the urban middle classes in Turkey in the 1920s and the 1930s. Examining the relationship between photography and gender, body, space as well as materiality and language, its six chapters explore how the production and circulation of vernacular photographs contributed to the making of the modern Turkish citizen in the formative years of the Turkish Republic, when nation-building, secularization and modernization reforms took centre stage. Based on an extensive photographic archive, the book shows that individuals actively reproduced, circulated and negotiated the ideal citizen-image imposed by the Kemalist regime, reflecting not only state-imposed directives but also their class aspirations and other, wider social and cultural developments of the period, from Western fashion trends and movies to the increasing availability of modern consumer items. Calafato also reveals that the freedom from sTrade Review"Offering sophisticated analyses of a selection of vernacular photographs, this book traces how the construction of the modern Turkish citizen can be found in such pictures, with a particular emphasis on their articulation of gender, bodies, spaces and language. Although embedded in a social history of Turkey, Ozge Calafato’s complex study will be of interest to anyone who cares about photography and its capacity for individual and collective agency. Highly recommended!" * Geoffrey Batchen, Professor, University of Oxford, UK *"Calafato’s close reading of vernacular photographs offers a refreshingly nuanced, complex and ambivalent picture of early republican Turkish society beyond the cliches of official representations. Like a detective working with visual clues, she analyzes studio portraits, family pictures and ordinary snapshots for the gender and class performativity of their urban middle-class subjects, pointing out subtle negotiations between the normative and the subversive in these images. Drawing on photography theory, visual anthropology, gender and cultural studies, the book represents critical interdisciplinary scholarship at its best. Well researched, well written and delightful to read, it is a most welcome contribution to studies of Turkish modernity and national identity construction." * Sibel Bozdogan, Professor, Boston University, USA *“Özge Calafato has written a ground-breaking study of photo history in Turkey and beyond, placing rarely seen vernacular photographs at the center of a farreaching analysis of the formation of the modern citizen in the new Turkish Republic. Through her extensive research and deft examination of a photo archive she assembled, Calafato demonstrates the value of often overlooked everyday photographs in understanding complex political and social transformations.” * Nancy Micklewright, National Museum of Asian Art, Smithsonian, USA *“A fascinating, highly-readable and enjoyable work on the early Turkish Republic that finally gives photography the attention it deserves… Calafato uses photography to demonstrate how Turkish citizens actively participated in the process of making a modern nation.” * Hale Yilmaz, Associate Professor, Southern Illinois University, USA *"Methodologically satisfying and empirically rich, this meticulously-researched study of the mass of everyday photographs demonstrates photography’s integral role in the creation of modern identities. Carefully balanced between macro- and micro historical narratives, it reveals photography to be an incisive and indispensable prism through which to consider larger analytical questions around class, gender and modernity, ideology, politics and social change, not only in Turkey but in the wider historical landscape. Throughout the images, from photo albums to advertisements, are richly revealing of the hopes and desires that clustered around photographs in fast-changing society of the mid-twentieth century." * Elizabeth Edwards, Professor, De Montfort University, UK *Table of ContentsIntroduction Part I: Photography, Gender and Modernity Chapter One: The Construction of the New Turkish Woman Chapter Two: Modern Turkish Masculinities Part II: The Making of the Modern Body Chapter Three: Pose, Posture and Props as Worldmaking Chapter Four: The Bodies of the Republic Part III: Photography and Space-Making Chapter Five: Photography’s Domestication Part IV: Photography, Materiality and Language Chapter Six: Disseminating Citizenship Conclusion References

Duke University Press Black and Blue
Book SynopsisPostwar French works that register disturbing truths about loss and regret, and violence and history, through aesthetic refinement anchor this exquisite, image-filled rumination on efforts to capture fleeting moments and comprehend the incomprehensible.Trade Review"Carol Mavor has developed a unique way of responding to images and to their uses by artists and writers: with appetite and fastidious delicacy, she brings the full sensorium synaesthetically into play. Black and Blue is a highly wrought montage, an original attempt to open up the meanings of visual objects in relation to experience, and a startlingly daring account of a symbolic field. It resonates with—and pays tribute to—such key art historical works as Aby Warburg's Mnemosyne Atlas and William Gass's prose poem, On Being Blue."—Marina Warner, author of Stranger Magic: Charmed States and the Arabian Nights"In Black and Blue, Carol Mavor lives with the wounding memories of Hiroshima, the Holocaust, and the regime of hate in American racial history. She looks at herself through a kaleidoscope of texts and images whose pain her own writing seeks to alleviate. The reader witnesses conflicted emotions circulating within a gallery of figures defining the melancholic tenor of critical and creative labors of the last three decades. As a testament and a symptom, Black and Blue belongs to a growing number of first-person accounts that have coped with the years 1939–46 and after, including those by Sarah Kofman (Rue Ordener, rue Labat) and Jean-Luc Godard (Histoire(s) du cinéma), in which the 'author' deals with his or her own relation with the past, from a highly autobiographical standpoint. What makes Black and Blue stand out is its movement to and from a theoretical critical canon, through an impressive body of films, texts, and images, which literally punctuate the book."—Tom Conley, author of An Errant Eye: Poetry and Topography in Early Modern France“Black and Blue is only partly, though brilliantly, about the colours of its title. It’s avowedly indebted to novelist-philosopher William H. Gass’s extraordinary 1976 essay On Being Blue: A Philosophical Inquiry, and shares that book’s super-subjective love of lists and tendency to intuitive digressions.... Black and Blue has a poetic logic of mourning, and its rage to make too much sense.” -- Brian Dillon * Art Review *“It is impossible to make sense of and represent catastrophes—Hiroshima, the Holocaust, loss of memory, death—and these are all approached in an oblique way that makes one ponder the concept. This reviewer would answer in the affirmative Mavor’s indirect question when she seems to wonder if she ‘effectively’ ‘combines catastrophe with frivolity as the text moves between the public and the private, in an effort to make sense.’ This well-maintained tension is the underlying thread that makes the reader watch, read, and think more deeply. Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, faculty, general readers.” -- E. A. Vanborre * Choice *“The overall effect is hypnotic, aided by the stunning visual affect of the book, tis elegant typesetting and the variety of the images that litter the text. . . . a joy to read . . . a veritable feast for the eyes.” -- Lucy Scholes * TLS *“Mavor succeeds in producing a truly hybrid work: image and text, art criticism and self-analysis come together almost seamlessly, culminating in an impressively phenomenological approach to the subject of memory. . . . [H]er keen attention to etymology and intellectual history succeeds in opening the text, the field of play: the films she discusses function just as Proust’s madeleine, describing but not finally demystifying Mavor’s memory, involuntary in its movement between present and past, research and experience, art and life.” -- Andrew Marzoni * Rain Taxi *“Black and Blue is an unabashedly first person, nonprescriptive account from one such reader-viewer, one that seeks to combine 'catastrophe with frivolity' in its quest to reveal something of the link between private and public affect by staging a struggle between them.” -- Dylan J. Montanari * Los Angeles Review of Books *“Black and Blue is a thought-provoking belletristic work. At times the style reaches the heights of Mavor’s beloved Barthes and Farber. Also, many of the contemporary artists discussed will be unfamiliar to readers within film studies, and will no doubt provide additional ways of thinking and angles of inquiry. It’s also worth noting that Black and Blue is beautifully presented, with ample screenshots taken from the films, and colour plates of the other artworks Mavor discusses.” -- John A. Riley * Scope *“[A] beautiful book, a book that asks art historians and cultural theorists to weigh the merits and limitations of affect as a methodological approach to the image broadly. This passion, Mavor shows everywhere, may be at times blinding but it also has the illuminating force of the sun.” -- Peggy Phelan * Photography and Culture *"In her chapters on La Jetée and Sans soleil she aligns a series of ostensibly unrelated circles. . . . Such associations are not only evocative, efficiently subtending history’s temporal habits and causal relations, they also train the reader to look as thoughtfully and creatively as Mavor does." -- Jane Blocker * Art History *“As I read this book, I lost myself in the writing, floating through a dream of images of rolling marbles, landscapes of ash, on the smile of an auntie in an old photograph, of a blue washcloth in a bathtub. The artwork that colors the text is charged with emotions of motherhood, of death, of race and of coming to terms with events in life out of our control. I wandered back and forth between the essays recalling black milk, black rain and black ink, carried away in the melancholy mixed with delicacy.” -- Jessica Cline * New York Public Library *“Carol Mavor does not write conventional works of art and literary criticism. Yet (or perhaps because of this) she can open up image and text in fascinating ways. . . . Black and Blue will be seen as a moving dramatization of the art of memory and forgetting and a Proustian and surrealist refiguring of post-war French culture. I was moved.” -- Max Silverman * French Studies *"Mavor is a learned scholar whose encyclopedic knowledge allows her to unearth deft connections between texts and figures whose distance from each other may have seemed immense." -- Anderst * Film Criticism *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Abbreviations xi Introduction.

Fordham University Press Athens Still Remains
Book SynopsisAthens, Still Remains is an extended commentary on a series of photographs of contemporary Athens by the French photographer Jean-Franois Bonhomme. But in Derrida's hands commentary always has a way of unfolding or, better, developing in several unexpected and mutually illuminating directions.Trade Review"Taking his point of departure from Bonhomme's wonderful photographs of Athens'photographs that bear the traces of the history of this living and dying city, as well as of an entire network of questions that have remained at the heart of the history of philosophy ever since its earliest Greek beginnings'Derrida offers us a moving meditation on the relations among photography, light, writing, memory, mourning, death, and survival. Presented as a series of photographic stills-in-prose, his exquisite essay not only enacts and performs what it wishes to convey, but it also tells us that we did not have to wait for the invention of photography to learn why ^3we owe ourselves to death,^2 or why, at every step of this wondrous photographic and philosophical journey, we also ^3owe ourselves to life.^2 It demonstrates once again why, like Athens, Derrida still remains one of our most cherished resources." -- -Eduardo Cadava Princeton University "In this fascinating short book Jacques Derrida ruminates on the photographical instant in the work of Jean-Francois Bonhomme. Confessing his 'passion for the delay' Derrida reads photography as an experience of mourning made possible by the full daylight of Athens and its surroundings. The book presents Derrida at his best, as he travels to ancient sites, contemplates the city and technics, reads ships and Plato - ultimately writing a picture, if that is possible, of photography itself." -- -Sander van Maas Utrecht University and University of Amsterdam "Athens, Still Remains-from the outset, a remarkable translation of an untranslatable title-is not only Jacques Derrida's most luminous and in-depth essay on photography: it develops itself as a photograph, bringing into new light the most structural aspects of the medium as well as its most fragile and fleeting ones. Struck by an enigmatic phrase-"We owe ourselves to death"-that takes a shot at him from the very beginning of his journey through Greece and will taunt him throughout, Derrida's reflection is irresistibly drawn to the photographic image by its spectral monumentality, the memory in the figure of the ruin it displays, the defer/delay (another name for Derrida's differance) effect at work in each image, bearing death from within. The departed, the multiple folds in which the departing process is present in the image, mourning and its intricate workings: this is what catches, here as always, Derrida's philosophical (and "autobiographical") attention-his meditation, rather, impregnated with melancholy, but always of the most active, creative, lively kind. But Athens, Still Remains is not only an essay on photography: more audaciously, Derrida suggests that it is philosophy itself that owes something, in its very "essence" or "origin", to the photographic image. A perfect example of the art of contretemps it analyzes so astutely, this moving essay-magnificently rendered if not heightened by Brault and Naas's most careful translation-comes to us at just the right moment: just in time. For there is no too-late in the reading of Derrida's work: it is there, ahead, waiting for us still." -- -Ginette Michaud Universite de Montreal

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Photography and Environmental Activism
Book SynopsisThis publication maps out key moments in the history of environmentalist photography, while also examining contemporary examples of artistic practice. Historically, photography has acted as a technology for documenting the industrial transformation of the world around us; usually to benefit the interests of capitalist markets. An alternative photographic tradition exists, however, in which the indexical image is used ''evidentially'' to protest against incidents of industrial pollution. By providing a definition of environmental activism in photographic praxis, and identifying influential practitioners, this publication demonstrates that photography plays a vital role in the struggle against environmental despoliation. This book will be of interest to scholars in photography, art and visual culture, environmental humanities, and the history of photography.Table of ContentsIntroduction, Part 1: Photography and the Politics of Pollution, 1. Toxic Foam and the Valorisation of Capital, 2. Histories of Environmental Subjugation, 3. The Ugly Subject of Industrial Pollution, 4. Plastic Taxonomies and the Symbiotic Real, Part 2: Photography as Environmental Activism, 5. Environmental Activism in Praxis, 6. The Politics of the Sublime(s), 7.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Photographs and the Practice of History
Book SynopsisWhat is it to practice history in an age in which photographs exist? What is the impact of photographs on the core historiographical practices which define the discipline and shape its enquiry and methods? In Photographs and the Practice of History, Elizabeth Edwards proposes a new approach to historical thinking which explores these questions and redefines the practices at the heart of this discipline. Structured around key concepts in historical methodology which are recognisable to all undergraduates, the book shows that from the mid-19th century onward, photographs have influenced historical enquiry. Exposure to these mass-distributed cultural artefacts is enough to change our historical frameworks even when research is textually-based. Conceptualised as a series of sensibilities' rather than a methodology as such, it is intended as a companion to ''how to'' approaches to visual research and visual sources. Photographs and the Practice of History not only builds onTrade ReviewThe presence of photographs disrupts historical practice, and creates opportunities to re-think our relationship with the past. This is the argument Edwards, one of the world’s leading photo historians, makes in this immensely powerful, dazzlingly learned, and eminently readable book. A must-read for every student of history! * Maiken Umbach, Professor of Modern History, University of Nottingham, UK *This is a provocative exploration of the subtle synergies between photographs and historical sensibility, written by a major historian of photography. Above all, it is a plea to think afresh about how photographs have radically reshaped our understandings of time, space and history in irreversible ways. * Paul Betts, Professor of Modern European History, St Antony’s College, University of Oxford, UK *Through photographs, Edwards shoulders a multiplicity of conceptual and methodological threads–time, scale, presence, context, materiality–that all historians should approach with a new level of consciousness in their practice. Here, photographs are the alibi to address the real silences of history, opening floodgates of potentiality for its future practice. * Patricia Hayes, DSI/NRF SARChI Chair in Visual History & Theory, University of the Western Cape, South Africa *Photographs and the Practice of History is a profound reflection on how photographs have defined our relationship to the past and its implications in the present, from the foremost scholar in the field. Deftly written and alive with questions on the nature of history itself, this is a book every historian, and anyone who works with photographs, should read. * Christina Riggs, Professor of the History of Visual Culture, Durham University, UK *Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements Introduction 1.

Springer-Verlag New York Inc. Choosing and Using a Refracting Telescope
Book SynopsisThis is a comprehensive guide to buying, testing, and using a refracting telescope. It is written mainly for amateur astronomers who already own or are intending to purchase a refracting telescope, but will prove useful for non-astronomical observers.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“Dr. Neil English is no stranger to the astronomical community … . His knowledge of telescope optics is highly respected, and here he endeavours to lay down all his knowledge in a concise and thorough manner. He opens the book with a wonderful overview of the history of the telescope … . this book something you really want to own, as it’s a guide not only to what is achievable by anyone with modest equipment, but also what to aspire to. Thoroughly recommended.” (Nick Howes, Astronomy Now Online, May, 2011)“Neil English opens with a brief history of refractor design, including the contributions of Lippershey, Galileo and Huygens, amongst others. … the text is clearly written and there’s plenty of useful data in the appendix. … it’s a valuable resource for anyone thinking about buying a refractor or who wants to learn more about the history and development of this iconic scientific instrument.” (Mark Parrish, BBC Sky at Night Magazine, June, 2011)“Having owned around a dozen refractors over the years–ranging from a ‘lowly’ 40mm refractor, through several antique examples to a go-to refractor–I was keen to read a book that promised to reinforce my love for ‘the prince of telescopes’. … An excellent, up-to-date book containing much more than I have outlined in this review. English communicates his passion for refractors, and the book comes to life with user accounts of refractors old and new.” (Peter Grego, Popular Astronomy, July-August, 2011)“Value to have accessible a comprehensive guide to the availability and use of refractors, which have a special attraction and romance –– especially for those who have used and appreciated the best of them. … The short but useful appendices include glossaries of terms and formulae, and data on a selection of double stars which can be used for testing refractors of various apertures. … Even for those with only the slightest interest, it would certainly inspire them.” (R. A.
