About Photography and Its Violations (Columbia Themes in Philosophy, Social Criticism, and the Arts)

Theorists critique photography for and “objectifying and ” its subjects and manipulating appearances for the sake of art. In this bold counterargument, John Roberts recasts photography’s violating powers of disclosure and aesthetic technique as part of a complex and “social ontology and ” that exposes the hierarchies, divisions, and exclusions behind appearances.The photographer must and “arrive unannounced and ” and and “get in the way of the world, and ” Roberts argues, committing photography to the truth-claims of the spectator over the self-interests and sensitivities of the subject. Yet even though the violating capacity of the photograph results from external power relations, the photographer is still faced with an ethical whether to advance photography’s truth-claims on the basis of these powers or to diminish or veil these powers to protect the integrity of the subject. Photography’s acts of intrusion and destabilization, then, constantly test the photographer at the point of production, in the darkroom, and at the computer, especially in our 24-hour digital image culture. In this game-changing work, Roberts refunctions photography’s place in the world, politically and theoretically restoring its reputation as a truth-producing medium.
