"A collection of essays on photography as part of a wider art historical, political and philosophical meditation on the relevance of the image"--

This book brings together a wide range of materials from history, religion, philosophy, horticulture, and meteorology to argue that Emerson articulates his conception of history through the language of the weather.

Featuring images that converse across temporal, political and cultural boundaries by artists such as Lola and Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Marcelo Brodsky, Joan Colom, Marc Ferrez and Joan Fontcuberta, this book argues that the photographic image comes into being only as a consequence of reproduction, displacement and itinerancy.

Demonstrates that Walter Benjamin articulates his conception of history through the language of photography. Focusing on Benjamin's discussions of the flashes and images of history, this title argues that the questions raised by this link between photography and history touch on issues that belong to the entire trajectory of his writings.
