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

Rizzoli International Publications Anrealage
Book SynopsisRecognized as one of the most innovative designers in contemporary fashion, Tokyo-based Anrealage is the brainchild of Kunihiko Morinaga. Born in 1980, Morinaga launched the brand in 2003, began showing in Tokyo in 2006 and Paris in 2014, and would later be the recipient of the Mainichi Grand Prize for design—Japan’s top fashion prize previously conferred to Issey Miyake, Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto. Cerebral and tech-savvy, the Anrealage approach to design is forever putting high-concept theory into practice. Known principally for introducing photochromatic textiles into dresses that react and change colors in response to varying degrees of light, he has also received acclaim for juxtaposing contrasting textures with deconstructed elements to create unique silhouettes.A master of provocation, Morinaga has always been preoccupied byintegrating humanity with rapidly evolving technologies and is actually wary of modernTrade Review"No designer wants to be compared to another, but when such a comparison becomes the highest form of praise, it may be warranted. And so, if there is an heir apparent to the mind-bending, cerebral work of Hussein Chalayan, that designer is Kunihiko Morinaga of the Japanese brand Anrealage. In one of the texts that accompanies the first English language monograph on the brand, published by Rizzoli, the critic Yuko Hasegawa acknowledges as much (though dutifully pointing out that Morinaga occupies a different space in the rather thin pantheon of conceptual fashion)." —STYLEZEITGEIST MAGAZINE"We’re looking at another amazing drop from Rizzoli — this time, highlighting Kunihiko Morinaga and their Tokyo-based brand ANREALAGE. Starting in 2003, they’ve always been ahead of the game. Whether it’s reactive, color changing materials, extreme silhouettes or deconstructed elements, you’re always in for a treat." —NICKSAYSGO.COMIn this book, you will visit light, shape, color, and perspective, to name a few. Describing the pages of this book is almost impossible. You have to see them and study them. I am amazed at the many textures used here and the imagination that went into each piece of art, apparel, and costumes. . . There is life in action on each page, created with personality and extreme thought. Fabric, buttons, beads, metal, and form are in each creation, and I can honestly say there is something for everyone." —SPLENDID SASS

Getty Trust Publications Rodney Smith: A Leap of Faith
Book Synopsis"I would hope that I am one of a kind." -Rodney Smith Mystery and manners, romance and fun-the sophisticated compositions and stylish characters in the extraordinary pictures of fashion photographer Rodney Smith (1947-2016) exist in a timeless world of his imagination. Born in New York City, Smith started out as a photo-essayist, turned to portrait photography, and found his niche, and greatest success, in fashion photography. Inspired by W. Eugene Smith, taught by Walker Evans, and devoted to the techniques of Ansel Adams, Smith was driven by the dual ideals of technical mastery and pure beauty. This lavish volume features nearly two hundred reproductions of Smith's images-many that have never before been published-and weaves together a biocritical essay by Getty Museum curator Paul Martineau and a technical assessment of Smith's production by the Center for Creative Photography's chief curator, Rebecca Senf. It maps Smith's creative trajectory-including his introduction to photography, early personal projects, teaching, commissioned pieces, and career in fashion-and provides insight into his personal life and character, contextualizing his work and creative tendencies within his privileged but lonely upbringing and his complex emotional and psychological makeup. Rodney Smith is the definitive record of the life's work and worldview of a truly original artist.Trade Review"I've been a fan of Rodney Smith's work for years. With his ability to find something interesting in the ordinary, Smith's new book is a delightful romp through a world where the mundane becomes magical, the impossible becomes possible and the absurd becomes normal. I appreciate Smith's simplicity and instinct for beauty, coupled with a dash of surrealism and humor. If you're looking for a book of photos that will make you see the world in a new light, look no further." - Elliott Erwitt, photographer

Rowman & Littlefield Maine Photography: A History, 1840-2015
Book SynopsisMaine has always played a rich and varied role in the art of photography. For hundreds of years, photographers, like other artists, have made their way to Maine to capture the natural beauty and human culture of the state. So, too, have many photographers come from Maine, and many contributions by Mainers have been made to the medium. Maine in Photography is the first comprehensive overview of the history of photography in the state. Providing basic knowledge of the most important people and institutions to have promoted photography, this volume also studies the ways in which photography has informed the understanding of the social and cultural history of Maine. Beginning with the earliest daguerreotype portraits of the 1840s, this history traces the growth of the medium—emphasizing key contributions, such as the Stanley brothers’ invention of the dry plate process—through to the present. Key topics addressed throughout the book include the importance of photography in documenting labor and economic life, the close relationship between photography and the growth of tourism, and the role of Maine photographers in advancing the medium as a fine art form. Published in conjunction with the Maine Photo Project, this is a unique and timely addition to the body of work on the importance of Maine to American art.

Book SynopsisThe move from spectator to participant is a quantum leap. Yet each Mardi Gras in New Orleans, thousands of people make that leap, abandoning inhibition and reveling in the ever-growing creative phenomenon of marching krewes.To celebrate this untold story, I Wanna Do That! Celebrating the Magic of Mardi Gras Marching Krewes, bursts with over 200 full color photographs that document this important New Orleans-centered cultural movement. As local arts critic Doug McCash says, "At this juncture, marching krewes are one of the best art stories in the city."Ok...so, what is a marching krewe?Simply put, a marching krewe is a group of like-minded people who get together for the purpose of marching in parades that take place during the Carnival (Mardi Gras) season. These krewes come in all shapes, sizes, and variations, yet they all share the attributes of creativity, artistry, quirkiness, humor, inclusiveness, and accessibility. Krewes are composed of people who practice dance moves, sew costumes, and create “throws” to hand out to a covetous public. People for whom participation is a badge of civic identity. People who at one point stood on the curb and said “I wanna do THAT!!”Realizing that the marching krewe field has expanded exponentially, our team knew it was a story that must be told. Two incredibly talented local photographers worked tirelessly to document the creative energy of the 2020 Mardi Gras season for this book, to tell and share the unique story of the 300+ marching krewes in New Orleans. I Wanna Do That! is perfect gift for anyone who loves New Orleans. "'I Wanna Do That!: The Magic of Mardi Gras Marching Krewes' is a must-have book for Carnival aficionados. Leafing through the 272-page volume, illustrated with lusciously funky photos by Ryan Hodgson-Rigsbee and Patrick Niddrie, seems especially precious these days, since the coronavirus has put the kibosh on most upcoming Mardi Gras-season events." - Doug MacCash, Staff Writer, The New Orleans AdvocateTable of ContentsForeword—Arthur Hardy Preface—Echo Olander, Yehonathan Goldstein Introduction—Echo Olander, Yehonathan Goldstein Krewe Categories Innovators Supa Groups Dance to the Boogie Get Down Mardi Gras Indians Fait à la Main I Love A Parade Back Street Culture Do What You Wanna Walking in New Orleans Locals Day in the Quarter Try This At Home Krewe-niverse Resources

Hub City Press Carolina Writers at Home
Book SynopsisFrom Beaufort to Boone and a dozen places in between, Carolina Writers at Home is a rich collection of true stories showcasing the houses where some of the most notable Southern authors—including Jill McCorkle, Nikky Finney, Alan Gurganus, Clyde Edgerton, and Michael Parker—have forged their writing lives. The homes in these twenty-five essays range from the classic bungalow and mid-century modern ranch house to wilder locales: a church, a trailer, and a sparsely-inhabited barrier island. Alongside the essays, Rob McDonald's evocative photographs capture the writers in their habitat, preserving their distinct personalities as well as the particular character of the house and place they inhabit. From the simple pleasures of Cassandra King’s writing room, to the hilarious and sometimes terrifying intrusions of curious wildlife in George Singleton’s realm, this unique anthology invites the reader to step inside some of the South’s best loved writers’ private worlds and see what makes their houses truly their own. It shows how collections of objects can transform a simple house into Daniel Wallace's ark or Josephine Humphreys' museum, creating a sheltering place for a creative mind at work. Carolina Writers at Home pays homage to those who have taken inspiration from the beauty and singularity of the Carolina landscape and turned it into the written word.
