Bücher von Elizabeth Edwards

Photographs have had an integral and complex role in many anthropological contexts, from fieldwork to museum exhibitions. This book examines how approaching anthropological photographs as "history" can offer both theoretical and empirical insights into these roles.

Examines the complex historical relationship between photography and anthropology, and in particular the strong emergence of the contemporary relevance of historical images. This book demonstrates the relevance of both the historical image and the notion of the archive to anthropological thought.
