{"product_id":"photography-trace-and-trauma-margaret-iversen-9780226370026","title":"Photography, Trace, and Trauma","description":"Photography is often associated with the psychic effects of trauma: the automatic nature of the process, wide-open camera lens, and light-sensitive film record chance details unnoticed by the photographer--similar to what happens when a traumatic event bypasses consciousness and lodges deeply in the unconscious mind. \u003ci\u003ePhotography, Trace, and Trauma\u003c\/i\u003e takes a groundbreaking look at photographic art and works in other media that explore this important analogy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Examining photography and film, molds, rubbings, and more, Margaret Iversen considers how these artistic processes can be understood as presenting or simulating a residue, trace, or \"index\" of a traumatic event. These approaches, which involve close physical contact or the short-circuiting of artistic agency, are favored by artists who wish to convey the disorienting effect and elusive character of trauma. Informing the work of a number of contemporary artists--including Tacita Dean, Jasper Johns, Mary Kelly, Gabriel Orozco, and Gerhard Richter--the concept of the trace is shown to be vital for any account of the aesthetics of trauma; it has left an indelible mark on the history of photography and art as a whole.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Iversen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022637002X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226370026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2017","brand":"Margaret Iversen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086407708927,"sku":"9780226370026","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1dad49ec-3f78-4c18-abc7-13c2df6dd8a4.jpg?v=1769094495","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/photography-trace-and-trauma-margaret-iversen-9780226370026","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
