Geoffrey Batchen: Geoffrey Batchen: Bild-Erscheinungen, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

How can the historical narratives of photography be told such that they are not limited to
photographic images but give serious consideration to the different ways in which these images
are transformed into other visual media? Photo historian Geoffrey Batchen argues the case for
a new media history of early modernism that focuses on the migration and dissemination of
photographs and goes far beyond photography. His study is a fascinating attempt to track the
diverse ways in which photographic images have migrated, delineating a dynamic visual culture
and in the process creating a history of photography in an intermedial context. Batchen shows
that this history has invariably been one of media transformation.
