Résumé:

"Camerawork was the only UK magazine devoted to a critical and contextual study of photography as a social practice involving relations between the producer, the forms of distribution and the viewers and participants. It thus challenged hallowed ideas on photography and photographic education and helped its contributors to establish regulations, in some cases world-wide, as writers and thinkers on photographic and art history and theory." "This book collects essays first published in Camerawork between 1976 and 1985, but no longer easily accessible, and a new essay on the work of Jo Spence, an originator of the magazine and workshop. The substantial introduction provides an historical survey of the development of radical photographic practice. The essays cover genres ranging from advertising and documentary to amateur photography; each author has written a new introduction to contextualise the original piece. While The Camerawork Essays will appeal to the beginner in photographic theory, media studies and cultural studies, it also offers a sophistication helpful to specialists."--BOOK JACKET.
