[ecrea] published double issue: 21st century photography: Art, philosophy, technique

A special double issue of Philosophy of Photography is now out.

*21st century photography: Art, philosophy, technique*

**

The articles and the encyclopaedia entry published in this special
double issue of /Philosophy of Photography /6:1&2 stem from papers
delivered at the conference /21st century photography: art, philosophy,
technique /co-organized by the journal and held at Central St Martins,
University of the Arts London, 5–6 June 2015.//

One key aim of the conference was to//bridge the gap between aesthetic,
philosophical and technological approaches to thinking about and//using
photographic images and to prompt participants from different
backgrounds (including art,//critical theory, philosophy, software &
hardware studies) to engage concretely with each other in//order to open
new avenues for the critical interrogation of the role of technological
images in//contemporary culture.

The selection of articles testifies, we think, to the richness and
variety of the debates that took place during the conference. They draw
variously from phenomenology, deconstruction, post-Deleuzian thought,
speculative realism and object oriented ontology, as well as from the
traditions of Marxist cultural critique, literature, psychoanalysis,
environmental debates about the anthropocene and cybernetics in order to
question photography in its persistence as the dominant image form of
the early twenty-first century.

Antigoni Memou reviews Frances Stracey’s /Constructed Situations/

/Philosophy of Photography/is an international peer-reviewed journal
published six monthly in the spring and autumn. The journal’s aim is to
provide a forum for theoretical and critical debate of issues arising
from the historical, political, cultural, scientific and critical matrix
of ideas, practices and techniques that constitute photography as a
multifaceted and changing form.
In a contemporary context characterised by its diversity and rapid rate
of transformation, the conjunction of ‘philosophy’ and ‘photography’ in
the journal’s title is intended to provoke reflection on the ways in
which existing and emergent discourses might engage with each other to
inform our understanding of the photographic.
