The Lives of Images, Vol. 1: Repetition, Reproduction, and Circulation, Paperback - Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa
The image is considered both a tool for liberation and a means of repression within the evolving structures of modern life. Further grounded by two interviews with practitioners in the field, Repetition, Reproduction, and Circulation promises to be an accessible, rigorous, and timely resource for all students, educators, and practitioners of photography. The series tracks the many movements and "lives" of images--their tendency to accumulate, circulate, and transform through different geographies, cultures, processes, institutions, states, uses, and times. Contributions by Giorgio Agamben, Kate Palmer Albers, Erika Balsom, Aria Dean, Jodi Dean, Cora Gilroy-Ware, Boris Groys, Miriam Bratu Hansen, Rabih Mroué, and Hito Steyerl.
