How to pinpoint the specific use of images in particular contexts? Monika Schwärzler presents a variety of photographic case studies exploring visual phenomena from the point of media analysis, as well as sociological, aesthetic, and psychoanalytic perspectives. The topics range from a new reading of Thomas Struths street photographs to CERN photos with their charged rhetoric, from the assault of photographic close-ups to speculations on an anonymous slide collection featuring a woman with an ever-present white handbag. The book is meant for an audience receptive to the analytical appeal of images, prepared to go beyond what could be taken at face value.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Transcript Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45268863713431,"sku":"9783837629545","price":2267.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783837629545.webp?v=1769236729","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/at-face-value-and-beyond-photographic-constructions-of-reality-9783837629545","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
