{"product_id":"paper-cities-susana-s-martins-9789462700581","title":"Paper Cities: Urban Portraits in Photographic Books","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhotographic books are almost as old as photography itself, and the city is one of their first and more recurring themes. Cities have been, and they continue to be, intensely photographed under a wide variety of forms, materialities, intentions and genres. This volume examines how a city can be molded through the particularities of a photographic book, suggesting how urban portraits configure an overlooked, yet quite specific, photo-textual practice. Ranging from early photography to contemporary works, \u003ci\u003ePaper Cities\u003c\/i\u003e gathers thought-provoking case studies from several international contexts, providing new insights into art, material culture, history, heritage, and memory, while simultaneously illuminating the debate on cities, photographs, and books.Contributors: Chris Balaschak (Flagler College), Johanna M.
