Description
Book SynopsisThis study explores a range of photographic images made during the 1910 revolution. Repeatedly reproduced across a range of media in the aftermath of the conflict, the analysis of this select handful of photographs brings to light compelling stories about cultural memory and identity in the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century.
Trade ReviewThroughout the book, Noble's interpretive dynamism, structured as a photographic counter-memory, finds the image surplus of one historic moment displaced and repeated over time in others. Her close visual analyses uncover a structure whose 'feedback' and 'feed forward' challenge historical conventions by fastening a panoramic sweep to a visually discursive point of view. -- .
