Photography, Curation, Affect
This article explores the implications of photographic affect for curatorial practice by examining the exhibition Through The Body: Lens-Based Work by Contemporary Chinese Women Artists (Art Museum at University of Toronto, 2014). The author focuses on the curatorial task of situating the work of three of the artists, Chen Zhe, Fan Xi and Chun Hua Catherine Dong that employs affect in related but potentially incompatible ways. Chen’s visceral ser…

Science, Seduction, and the Lure of Reality in Third Republic France
On June 8, 1905, a group of researchers representing the elite of the French scientific community gathered in the offices of the Institut general psychologique (IGP) on the rue Conde in Paris with the celebrated Italian spiritualist medium, Eusapia Palladino, and the goal of ascertaining the reality of mediumistic phenomena. In the course of forty-three seances stretched over three years, the members of the group witnessed Eusapia producing a var…
Developing Animals
Pictures of animals are now ubiquitous, but the ability to capture animals on film was a significant challenge in the early era of photography. This book takes us back to the time when Americans started taking pictures of the animal kingdom, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the moment when photography became a mass medium and wildlife photography an increasingly popular genre. The book investigates the way photography changed our percep…
A Rupture in the Field of Representation
This review essay explores the sociality of photographic affect through an analysis of animal photography. It offers a social reading of Barthes's concept of the punctum by examining the importance of animality to the concept's formulation. Drawing on Jacques Derrida's work on animality as a key question in Western thought, the paper argues that Barthes's engagement with animality is not arbitrary and that thinking in terms of animality helps us …
George Shiras and the Circulation of Wildlife Photography
This article examines the circulation of George Shiras 3rd's Midnight Series of deer photographs. The photographs were taken in 1896 as part of Shiras's experiments with night‐time flash photography and were part of the North American practice of camera hunting. The article traces the photograph's circulation from their display at the 1900 Paris Exposition through their publication in National Geographic Magazine. It argues that the meaning of th…
Trophy Shots
This essay examines the relationship between the display of non-human animal trophies and masculinity through an analysis of progressive-era American wildlife photography. In the 1890s, North American animal photographers began circulating their images in sporting journals and describing their practice as a form of hunting. These camera hunters exhibited their photographs as proof of sportsmanship, virility, and hunting prowess
Strategic re‐membering
This study begins by contesting what some historians have viewed as a politically innocent space in mourning practice and argues for the inescapably political nature of representations of loss whether in the historian's theorization of mourning or in mourning practice itself. The First World War, which is understood here as a moment of historical trauma, was followed by a period in which identity was reconfigured in the service of national unity …
