Autumn Womack, The Matter of Black Living
En identifiant les liens entre données raciales et esthétique au tournant du xxe siècle, Autumn Womack propose une lecture extrêmement stimulante, et dessine implicitement une perspective historique permettant de re-contextualiser un pan entier de l’art afro-américain contemporain, préoccupé notamment par ce que Saidiya Hartman a pu appeler the afterlife of slavery (6, voir aussi Womack 218). À rebours d’une lecture dualiste tendant à opposer de …
Deana Lawson
Deana Lawson occupait cet été le principal espace exposition du MoMA PS1. Le décor nostalgique de cette ancienne école publique, cernée d’immeubles flambant neufs symbolisant la gentrification accélérée de Long Island City, sert de cadre à une programmation engagée, soucieuse de résister à l’effacement des communautés historiques du Queens et plus généralement des minorités ethniques ou genrées. Le musée ouvre largement ses portes aux acteurs loc…
“The Shape of Wooden Bridges.” Technology, History and the Public
Susan Smulyan has dedicated much of her career to projects combining research, teaching, and a growing commitment to the "civic role" of academics both within and outside the university. In a recent book entitled Doing Public Humanities, she calls for engaged work that is "collaborative, process-driven, and politically-based." "Research and learning," she writes, "must grow from projects developed off-campus, as well as on" (Smulyan, 2021 36). It…

Harry Seymour Royden, plombier, Milford, Connecticut, né le 21 mars 1893, enrôlé en décembre 1917, se retrouve stationné à Bourges, en France, avec le 3rd Provisional Ordnance Depot Batallion. Il y rencontre mon arrière-grand-tante, Jeanne Meunier, qu’il reviendra épouser le 15 mars 1920 pour s’installer avec elle à Milford. Photo du 14 juin 1925
Monica Bravo, Greater American Camera
There is no shortage of scholarship on emblematic “American” photographers Edward Weston, Paul Strand and Tina Modotti, and their relationships with Mexican culture in the 1920s and 1930s — most notably their influence on Manuel Alvarez Bravo. In numerous monographs and exhibitions dedicated to their careers, Mexican travels always emerge as a defining moment. Yet, from Rebeca Zurier’s Photographs of Mexico: Modotti/Strand/Weston (1978) to James …
Fernando Brito, “Judío” (Baca, Sinaloa. April 3, 2015)
In Judío, photographer Fernando Brito attempts to find an ad-hoc visual representation for the Yoremem or Mayo Indians in his native state of Sinaloa, Mexico. This portrait pays tribute to the foundational value of the community’s ritual, which combines indigenous cosmology with seventeenth-century Jesuit influence, as crucial to its survival and cohesion
Odd Man in
This article examines a small sample of photographs within the context of a large-scale visual archive–the Methodist Church’s 257 mission albums. Buried inside one of the “South American” series, three photographs and a small map tell the story of Reverend Willis C. Hoover, who was forced to step down as pastor of the Valparaiso congregation (Chile) in 1910. Yet the annotations surrounding the pictures indicate that they should no longer be there…
Anne Lesme, Photographier l'enfant pour changer la société, États-Unis, 1888-1941
L’ouvrage signé par Anne Lesme vient combler un manque évident dans la bibliographie en français de l’histoire de la photographie dite « documentaire » aux États-Unis. En déroulant le fil qui relie Jacob Augustus Riis (How the Other Half Lives, 1890) aux photographes de la Farm Security Administration (FSA) créée pendant la Grande Dépression, en passant par la contribution décisive de Lewis Wickes Hine, reporter-sociologue emblématique du mouveme…
Surveys and romance
Beginning probably in the early 1920 ́s, the various Boards of Missions of the American Methodist Episcopal Church put together more than 250 photo albums. Today, these volumes constitute an invaluable visual record which documents the life of missionaries in the various ̈fields ̈ where they were working, and hoping to spread not only their own brand of Protestantism, but also what many of them understood to be the most advanced form of modern ci…
Introduction
Introduction
The Motion Picture Export Association is a legal cartel founded in 1945 by the Hollywood majors to reopen the markets closed by the war. Quickly, its main role was to represent and defend the majors’ interests abroad. Under Jack Valenti’s presidency (1966-2004), the cartel behaved as a lobby, creating for itself a specific form of diplomacy on the foreign market—a cartel diplomacy, based both on force and compromise
The doorstep portrait
Documentary photography has always been confronted by criticisms and self-doubts about its method and purpose. Can pictures ostensibly intruding into the lives of the poor and the destitute, whether taken by academics, reformers or professional photographers, ever be legitimate? This article suggests that these concerns actually determine the way mainstream American social photography looks. Such is the case, at least, in a cliché which has run t…
Photographie et utopie industrielle
This essay suggests that photography was widely used, around 1900, to hail Pittsburgh as the city of the future. In the illustrated press and in countless photo albums, pictures of parks, cultural institutions and model factories drove home the equation between industrial efficiency and social well-being. In these types of publications, photography contributed to the self-promotion of Pittsburgh as an American utopia in progress, countering some …
