Raktažodžiai:
Contributor Martin Padgets essay: «Native Americans, the Photobook and the Southwest: Ansel Adamss and Mary Austins Taos Pueblo was awarded the 2010 Arthur Miller Essay Prize. This book is an integrated collection of essays on the interface between literature and photography, as exemplified in important North American texts. The aspects of this increasingly debated topic treated here include: the evidential nature of the photographic image; evocations of photographs in poetry and fiction; ways in which photographs illustrate literary works; the status and function of words in photographic anthologies; and the formal structure(s) of full-blown interactions of the verbal and the visual in works that constitute photo-texts. Contributors to the volume probe ways of reading particular and often celebrated combinations of words and photographs as cultural documents of their time and ours. Achieving a better understanding of their social context often illuminates important themes of American history, such as ethnic, regional, class or gender identification and difference.

Recenzijos

«As a whole, the collection reflects two benefits of its conference origins. It presents British scholarship on American culture and photography by academics at different stages in professional life: from graduate students in the dissertation phase up to senior faculty with significant published research in these fields. And current discourses in the humanities are well-represented through the variety of approaches to photography, taken in relation to history, aesthetic theory, memory, gender, media, ethnic and political identity, and national culture.» (James Goodwin, Visual Resources)
