Abstract/Notes | Renowned photographers and critics address the major controversies in photography today. In recent years, photographic images have been blamed for everything from heroin chic and meaningless politics to women's distorted body images and the death of Princess Diana. In Over Exposed, a group of distinguished photographers, critics, and cultural historians examine the many roles of photography in contemporary western culture, covering questions about representation, sexual politics, public policy, and cultural activism. Taking up where her widely praised first collection, The Critical Image, left off, Carol Squiers, senior editor of American Photo, collects writing on contemporary issues in photography including those raised by the new digital photography and the Web. Contributors: Geoffrey Batchen on digital photogrpahy Deborah Bright on lesbian chic Victor Burgin Rosalyn Deutsche on activism and photography Timothy Druckrey on the Web Jan Zita Grover on portraiture Andy Grundberg on surrealism Therese Harlan on self-representation Silvia Kolbowski Rosalind Krauss on the nature of the "real" Kobena Mercer on erotic photography Christian Metz on fetish Kathy Myers on advertising Griselda Pollock on images of women Abigail Solomon-Godeau Carol Squiers on the paparazzi Carole S. Vance on pornography |
