Interdisciplinary issues such as photography's relationships to vision, identity, history, and memory are also examined. Readings reveal the main debates and issues surrounding the nature of photography: What is photography? Is it objective, subjective, transparent, and\/or transcendent? Is a photograph a document, a trace, a fetish, an index, and\/or a work of art? Is digital photography \"photography\" at all? Etc. Embodying the entirety of photographic intellectual history, \u003ci\u003ePhotographic Theory\u003c\/i\u003e vividly illustrates the dramatic storylines and impassioned debates that continue to swirl within photographic theory--and is a volume that is certain to click with scholars and students alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndrew E.
