Photography: A Cultural History by Mary Warner Marien (Pbk, 3rd Ed)

Description: "Photography: A Cultural History" by Mary Warner Marien (Pbk, 3rd Ed). The first survey of international photography to examine the discipline across the full range of its uses by both professionals and amateurs, examining the medium through the lenses of art, science, social science, travel, war, mass media and individual practitioners. The coverage is truly global including rarely seen work from Latin America, Africa, China, Japan, India, and Russia as well as the more established canon of Europe and the United States, so the reader follows such debates as the nature of discovery/invention, the effect of mass media on morality, the use of imagery as a tool of Western colonialism, and the role of the photograph in advertising, radical politics and family life.
