Sometimes thought to be a bizarre Victorian custom, photographing corpses has been and continues to be an important, if not recognized, occurrence in American life. It is a photographic activity, like the erotica produced in middle-class homes by married couples, that many privately practice but seldom circulate outside the trusted circle of close friends and relatives. Along with tombstones, funeral cards, and other images of death, these photographs represent one way in which Americans have attempted to secure their shadows.

The idea of photographing the dead is as old as photography itself. For the most part, early death photographs were commissioned or taken by relatives of the deceased and preserved in the home as part of the family collection. Once thought inappropriate and macabre, today these photographs are considered to have a beneficial role in bereavement therapy. Photography and Death reveals the beauty and significance of such images, formerly dismissed as disturbing or grotesque, and places them within the context of changing cultural attitudes towards death and loss. Excluding images of death through war, violence, or natural disasters, Audrey Linkman concentrates on photographs of natural deaths within the family. She identifies the range of death-related photographs that have been produced in both Europe and North America since the 1840s and charts changes in their treatment through the decades. Photography and Death will interest photo, art, and social historians and practitioners in the field of bereavement therapy, as well as those who wish to better understand the images of long-lost ancestors who gaze back from the pages of family albums.

Museums and Photography combines a strong theoretical approach with international case studies to investigate the display of death in various types of museums—history, anthropology, art, ethnographic, and science museums – and to understand the changing role of photography in museums. Contributors explore the politics and poetics of displaying death, and more specifically, the role of photography in representing and interpreting this difficult topic. Working with nearly 20 researchers from different cultural backgrounds and disciplines, the editors critically engage the recent debate on the changing role of museums, exhibition meaning-making, and the nature of photography. They offer new ways for understanding representational practices in relation to contemporary visual culture. This book will appeal to researchers and museum professionals, inspiring new thinking about death and the role of photography in making sense of it.

ATTENTION BONUS! WHO BUY THIS BOOK HAS THE RIGHT TO DOWNLOAD THE EBOOK FOR FREEOn reading these pages of mine, in the end, I have the impression I have not come up with anything. Anything conclusive and "true". I wish I had, but I do think I have not succeeded. If, as Shopenhauer says, "the philosopher becomes such through a doubt he tries to escape", I am not a" philosopher of photography" because I have escaped no doubt. Anyway I do not think I have wasted time. And I do not think he who will read them, these few pages, will waste his time. The themes dealt with using my elementary means are of great significance. I have tried to make sense of my photographic experiences, above all because, through thinking, I wanted to realize what I had done. Maybe trying is already a sort of truth. I have tried to relate things that I have always confusedly considered in relation. Time light and photography. Knowledge and look. Philosophy and photography. Photography is something (what exactly I have not understood yet) which pays for its simplicity of use and its astonishing diffusion with a generalized underestimation. Two French authors, Sartre and Barthes, have really given me a lot to think about. Photographing moves me. Knowing deeply means only loving, that is becoming one, or living in the desire to become one. Photographing for me has always been and is a way of knowing, and therefore of loving.SUMMARY PHOTOGRAPHY AND TIME 19PRESENT AND PAST 29LIGHT 32PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART 1 40PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART 2 42COLOUR AND BLACK AND WHITE 1 47PORTRAIT 49LOVER'S HANDS 60THE EYES OF PORTA GENOVA 63THE THEATRE OF LIFE 84PHOTOGRAPHY AND THEATRE 86THE SILENCE OF LIGHT 109THE SILENCE OF THINGS 110PHOTOGRAPHY AND DEATH 113ABSENCE/ESSENCE 115ABSENCE AND PLACES 116SACRED SYMBOLS 118OPENING THE SHADOWS 120PHOTOGRAPHY AND KNOWLEDGE 1 122VENICE AND INNOCENT LOOK 125MURANO AND THE LIGHT OF BLACK 130LANDSCAPE 138COLOUR AND BLACK AND WHITE 2 140THE FACES OF THE HOUSES 142PHOTOGRAPHY AND KNOWLEDGE 2 145THE MATERIAL REALITY 146THE METAPHYSICS OF LIGHT 148DRINK THE LIGHT 150

Buildings inhabit and symbolize time, giving form to history and making public space an index of the past. Photographs are made of time; they are literally projections of past states of their subjects. This visually striking meditation on architecture in photography explores the intersection between these two ways of embodying the past. Photographs of buildings, Joel Smith argues, are simultaneously the agents, vehicles, and cargo of social memory. In The Life and Death of Buildings photographers as canonical as Bernd and Hilla Becher, Laura Gilpin, Lewis W. Hine, and William Henry Fox Talbot enter into visual dialogue with amateurs, architects, propagandists, and insurance adjusters. Rather than examine photographers' aims in isolation, Smith considers how their images reflect and inflect the passage of time. Much as a building's shifting function and circumstances substantially alter its significance, a photograph comes to be coauthored by history, growing layers of meaning to which its maker had no access.
