Its collected essays epitomize not only how pictures situate us in a specific place, but also how they create a sense of such mutable place-worlds. Understanding photographs as prime sites of knowledge production and advocates of socio-political transformations, a transnational set of scholars reveals how images enact both our perception and conception of American environments. They investigate the power photography yields in shaping our ideas of self, nation, and empire, of private and public space, through urban, landscape, wasteland and portrait photography. The volume radically reconfigures how pictures alter the development of American places in the past, present, and future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e List of Figures     Introduction: Picturing America: Photography and the Sense of Place   Kerstin Schmidt and Julia Faisst  1 From Sewers to Selfies: The Evolution of Photographs into Infrastructure   Mitchell Schwarzer  2 Nowhere, Now Here: Lee Friedlander’s Self Portrait and the National Ground   Shamoon Zamir  3 Photography, Revision, and the City in Henry James’s New York Edition and Alvin Langdon Coburn’s London   Emily Setina  4 Gogol + Nikhil = Nikon?
