The series tracks the many movements and \"lives\" of images—their tendency to accumulate, circulate, and transform through different geographies, cultures, processes, institutions, states, uses, and times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVolume 1 of the series, \u003cem\u003eRepetition, Reproduction, and Circulation\u003c\/em\u003e, addresses the multiple life cycles of the image—its modes of dispersion, reception, consumption, and aggregation—and the significance of technological reproduction for contemporary forms of social, cultural, and political life. The image is considered as both a tool for liberation and a means of repression within the evolving structures of modern life. The essays consider the implications of the nature and effect of the reproducible image on the categories, shapes, and aims of contemporary art and society. Further grounded by two interviews with practitioners in the field, \u003cem\u003eRepetition, Reproduction, and Circulation\u003c\/em\u003e promises to be an accessible, rigorous, and timely resource for all students, educators, and practitioners of photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContributions by Giorgio Agamben, Kate Palmer Albers, Erika Balsom, Aria Dean, Jodi Dean, Cora Gilroy-Ware, Boris Groys, Miriam Bratu Hansen, Rabih Mroue, and Hito Steyerl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432961982700,"sku":"9781597115025","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781597115025.jpg?v=1774765962"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/paul-pfeiffer.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
