Munsie, Richard. "Intimation of life : photographic portraiture in art." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2002. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/719.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Photographic artists have a continuing desire to express intimately aspects of their social world through the genre of portraiture. However, in attempting to make known the lives of those around them, portraitists encounter a range of complexities inherent in the representation of the human subject in a two-dimensional visual field. Portraits were initially an indicator of social class until the introduction of photography, when more and more people became involved in their production and ownership. It was at its inception that the photographic portrait assumed conventions consistent with those of the painted portrait in Western art and its social use. These conventions have persisted and, along with the accumulation of conventions specific to the medium, have come to define photographic portraiture as a genre. It is either from within the limitations of the genre, or through the challenging of its authority, that artists seek to portray issues relevant to contemporary life. This endeavour is affected by certain concerns associated with a person's photographic representation. These include issues pertaining to notions of likeness, identity, subjectivity, and realism. A photographic image of someone has traditionally been perceived to convey a realistic impression of that person's identity, however, concepts of identity and realism have come under increasing scrutiny, contesting the authority of the photographic representation. The portrait's verisimilitude is also undermined by limitations in photographic processes and technology, and the manipulation and control exercised by the photographer who can frame, filter, crop, and enlarge the image at will. In considering the inadequacies of the medium, the fragmentation of identity and subjectivity, and threats concerning the demise of the genre, a further concern to contemporary portraiture is the status of the psychological interaction between photographer and subject. For many participants this exchange is an important aspect of the portrait transaction in which rituals of pose and performance are enacted, and feeling states or emotional truths are sought out. Kozloff (1994, p. 4) considers stilt portraits to be scanty objects in which the intricacies of human experience are inadequately represented, yet they remain as a site for the documentation of experiences that are to become memories. The increasing influence of digital media in photography presents an opportunity for the re-evaluation of these concerns, and new creative and expressive possibilities.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
L’essor de la photographie au milieu du 19ème siècle est contemporain de changements importants survenus au sein de la société française. A Paris sous le Second Empire, la forte hausse du pouvoir d’achat, due en grande partie aux travaux haussmanniens, influence l’image publique des citadins. La ville et ses grands boulevards offrent aux plus privilégiés la possibilité de se promener, de s’exhiber, de paraître selon certaines normes pour se mettre en lumière. Représentations qui seront ensuite fixées par les artistes : écrivains, peintres, sculpteurs, caricaturistes et photographes, ils concourent tous à immortaliser ce nouveau mode de vie et ses acteurs.Le portrait, ce moyen de représentation par excellence auparavant réservé à l’aristocratie, deviendra finalement accessible aux autres milieux sociaux. En comparaison avec les autres techniques, le portrait photographique gagnera davantage de succès et ce, grâce à de multiples critères : la baisse progressive de son coût, sa vitesse d’exécution, sa véracité reconnue par le public, sa capacité d’être reproduit à l’identique en grand nombre depuis l’invention du procédé collodion humide, sans oublier la naissance du portrait-carte de visite qui accélère sa démocratisation.Notre recherche repose sur un dépouillement minutieux d’archives photographiques. Elle aura comme objectif d’analyser le rôle joué par la photographie dans la procédure de représentation sous le Second Empire en répondant à un certain nombre de questions<br>When portraiture was made accessible to French citizens in the nineteenth century, someconservative critics did not consider all individuals to be “portrayable”. This did notprevent people of means from hiring portrait painters to create their own “visiblememory”. In the process, they redefined the nature of the artist’s model. These newsitters, who were employers rather than employees, were not obedient: they insisted uponimposing their individual style and references. Photographic artists, on the other hand,persisted in directing their sitters—as artists did their paid academic models—and had toseek compromises that, without relinquishing their favoured styles, would satisfy theirdemanding clients. Some photographers published manuals and treatises explaining howto produce a good portrait without being unduly disturbed by the model’s whims andfancies. Furthermore, self-proclaimed experts in modern “etiquette” taught people how totalk, how to walk and how to appear in society. A careful examination of the conditionsbehind the production of photographic portraits, especially those representing fashionablecitizens taken during the era of the carte-de-visite, reveals the importance of the rolesplayed respectively by the model, the portrait photographer and the social codes ofconduct of the day

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
International Passports: Portraits of the Nigerian Diaspora considers notions of 'alienation‘ and 'nation-hood‘ through the lens of portraiture. This dissertation addresses issues of identity and representation in a contemporary cultural context as they pertain to the concerns presented through my current visual practice. The paintings that I have produced from 'real‘ life are primarily depictions of Nigerian individuals, friends and acquaintances (professionals and students) residing in Grahamstown, South Africa as temporary or permanent migrants. I reference the mug shot pose of identity documents and passport photographs and render them in such a way that ideas of their persona are subject to the viewer‘s gaze and deliberations, thus provoking the spectator to consider questions of 'otherness‘ and 'stereotypes‘. This provocation is subtle and complex, and in many ways I am offering the viewer a 're-looking‘, an opportunity to examine one‘s moral position and subsequent implication within the act of stereotyping an 'other‘ individual. The initial idea within this body of work was to paint images of Nigerian nationals exclusively, yet the restrictive nature of such categorization pushed me to complicate certain nationalist ideologies through the inclusion of non-Nigerian individuals. I look specifically at notions of the 'other‘ and 'strangeness‘ in a contemporary South African context and how this connects to the concept of portraiture and not simply portraiture theory but also the social theory in relation to how people are 'imaged‘. Throughout this thesis I consider several theoretical concerns in portraiture practice and discourse whilst simultaneously unpacking the psychological and social contexts that influence my practice.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Art and lived experience are the key to my work. Standing in the Shadow of the Moon – A Diaristic Encounter With Identity Through My Everyday is an inquiry into the various possibilities for photography as a diaristic medium that blends the concepts of documentary and tableau photography, whilst exploring my identity. In this mode of expression, my project is an investigation into concepts of self-representation and subjectivity. What does it mean to create an enigmatic series of 'self-portraits' that are focused on those around me, those whom reflect me, but are not me?

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
L’Archivio Graziano Arici est une archive photographique d’un genre résolument singulier ; elle réunit des enjeux et ou assemble des finalités qui ne se rejoignent que partiellement. Archive courante des photographies de Graziano Arici (photographe né en 1949 à Venise, résidant actuellement à Arles, et toujours en activité), fonctionnant comme une base d’images permettant au photographe d’accumuler et de vendre ses productions, elle est aussi, dès le départ, conçue comme une forme-conservatoire destinée, dans son ensemble, par son auteur même, à représenter une époque, à rester comme un témoignage porté par un regard sur une époque. Par l’acquisition de fractions d’archives photographiques, la mise en place d’une politique de préservation des images, et par ses créations, son travail plastique, le photographe se fait tout à la fois héritier d’un domaine précaire, mais aussi son passeur. Dans ce cas particulier, en effet, le rassemblement qu’est l’archive photographique se trouve être, non seulement, un lieu d’origine, premier, mais également l’endroit et le moment d’une recomposition, d’un remontage de productions antérieures, donnant ainsi naissance à un art consommé de l’assemblage, dans un lieu devenu paradoxal<br>The Archive Graziano Arici is a definitely unique photograph Archive of its kind. It concentrates issues, or combine objectives which only partially meet. The standard Archive of Graziano Arici’s photograph (Arici is a photographer born in Venice, now living in Arles and still working) first acting as a picture-base which enables the photographer to gather together and sell his productions, is also, from the outset, designed as a conservation device, and by its author himself intended in its entirety to represent particular times and bear testimony to individual perceptions of those times ; by acquiring fractions of photograph archives, and setting up a picture-conservation policy, but through his own creation and plastic work as well, the photographer becomes heir to a fleeting world, and his go-between, too, giving birth to an art of assembling, and his archive becoming a paradoxical place

Pelser, Monique Myren. "Roles : "I am as intently observed as the people photograph"." Thesis, Rhodes University, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1007647.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
With this dissertation I propose an investigation of how the photographic portrait attempts to construct and confirm identity through the representation of types. Drawing from theoretical texts by Roland Barthes and Robert Sobieszek and engaging with my own process of self-portraiture, as a means of troubling the usual power relations involved between the photographer and the sitter, I will demonstrate the dialectical nature of these roles involved in photographic portraiture. Looking at Pieter Hugo's portraits of judges in Botswana permits me to deal with issues of masquerade and how fashions and uniforms mask an individual allowing him/her to perform roles and stereotypes in society. Referring to another set of Hugo's images from his ongoing series Looking Aside, I will explore the paradoxical nature of the portrait through the dialectic of the 'self 'and 'other' subject and object split through an exploration of notions of skin and prosthetic skin and the relationship to the liminal space 'opened' between subject and object, or viewer and image.

Rowell, Spencer. "An exploration of pathography within phototherapy : an analysis of the photographic self-portrait." Thesis, London Metropolitan University, 2017. http://repository.londonmet.ac.uk/1264/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis presents and develops an advanced method of self-exploration for artists. The method, which incorporates the process of self-representation, enables a more authentic identification of the psyche of the artist to be created. The objective of the research is to develop a restorative and valid therapeutic process that artists can apply to achieve further authenticity in terms of the work that they conduct. The process that is developed as a product of this research is an advancement of ‘pathography’, a term used by Sigmund Freud in 1910 in the final chapter of Leonardo da Vinci and a Memory of His Childhood, to describe the psychoanalytic study of an artist through the works produced by the artist. The specific method employed in the research involved myself as artist creating a photographic self-portrait, sharing this image with two psychoanalytic psychotherapists, who each then responded with their written analysis of the image. This led to the creation of a series of twenty-four images, informed by the written interpretations provided by the analysts, at approximate intervals of once a month over two years. This method allows the interaction of artist, artworks and analysts to develop dynamically. This collaborative process where the written word is generated from the viewing of visual information, allows patterns or themes relevant to the research to be identified. The research findings contribute to the existing body of knowledge by revisiting of ‘pathography’ and developing a new method within phototherapy, and, in doing so, provide a material progression in the context of the artist as a photographer. Recommendations are also made in respect of the implementation of this new method. Guidance is provided for researchers who wish to further investigate this area, particularly in terms of the research processes that can be adopted. I conclude that making photographic self-portraits in this way can be a restorative and valid therapeutic process.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Loin de la dénonciation sociale ou d’un exercice strictement historique, le présent travail cherche à comprendre comment se construit l’image du personnage bourgeois à travers l’étude de portraits de la bourgeoisie mexicaine entre 1854 et 2008. Le concept de masque permet de rendre compte du portrait en tant que construction d’un modèle de représentation sociale. La première partie propose un aperçu général des origines et de l’évolution du portrait pictural, de son influence sur le portrait photographique, des conséquences des idées humanistes sur l’art, enfin de l’histoire de la bourgeoisie mexicaine et du portrait photographique bourgeois au Mexique. La deuxième partie s’intéresse au phénomène de la carte-de-visite en tant que source et modèle du portrait photographique de la bourgeoisie mexicaine, avant d’examiner la question de la figure : l’interprétation de la pose et du visage en tant qu’éléments constitutifs de la construction d’une identité sociale. La troisième partie étudie le fond, c'est-à-dire les différents espaces dans lesquels le personnage bourgeois se fait photographier, les objets qui l’entourent et son rapport à eux. Cette recherche s’appuie sur les contributions théoriques de philosophes, d’écrivains, d’historiens et de photographes tels qu’André Adolphe Eugène Disdéri, Joan Foncuberta, Geoffrey Batchen, Octavio Paz, Carlos Monsiváis, Celso Sánchez Capdequí, Pierre Francastel, Christian Phéline, E. H. Gombrich, Gilles Lipovetsky, Gillo Dorfles, Graham Clarke, Jacques Aumont, Jean Sagne, Jean-Luc Nancy, Michel Frizot, Philippe Dubois, John Berger, Hermann Broch, Umberto Eco, Roland Barthes, Tzvetan Todorov, Michel Foucault, Susan Sontag, Walter Benjamin. Parmi les photographes mexicains abordés dans cette étude, l’on citera les frères Valleto, Cruces et Campa, les Archives Casasola, Nacho López, Héctor García, Pedro Meyer, Daniela Rossell et Ivonne Venegas<br>Far from social condemnation or a strictly historic review, this work seeks to understand the construction of the bourgeois personage through the study of Mexican bourgeoisie portraits between 1854 and 2008. The “mask” concept allows us to explain the portrait as the construction of a model of social representation. Part I offers an overview of the origin and evolution of the pictorial portrait and its influence on the photographic portrait, as well as the consequences of humanist ideas on art, the history of Mexican bourgeoisie and the bourgeois photographic portrait in Mexico. Part II analyses the carte-de-visite phenomenon as origin and model for the photographic portrait of the Mexican bourgeoisie, to later study the figure, the interpretation of posture, stance and facial expression as components of the construction of social identity. Part III studies depth: different spaces where the bourgeois character is photographed, the objects around him and his relation to them. Taken into account are the theoretical contributions of philosophers, writers, historians, and photographers, like André Adolphe Eugène Disdéri, Joan Foncuberta, Geoffrey Batchen, Octavio Paz, Carlos Monsiváis, Celso Sánchez Capdequí, Pierre Francastel, Christian Phéline, E. H.

The images included in my thesis work reflect my experience growing up with military propaganda—pictures of cheerful white women in pearls as part of my rural middle American landscape. I do not name the oppressor because I am not here to pick at the thorns, but to get to the root of the oppression. These are some of the servicewomen I’ve met. Their stories parallel but cannot encompass the private experiences of all service women. I am grateful for their generosity; without them there would be no pictures.
The battle for equality is much older than Rosie the Riveter but we still ask the same questions we asked Joan of Arc in the 15th century: if she isn’t working miracles, what is she doing on the battlefield?

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis studies the style of Native American portrait photographs of William S. Soule (1836-1908), John K. Hillers (1834-1925), and William E. Irwin (1871-1935), who worked in Oklahoma from 1869 to 1904. The examination of the three men's work revealed that each artist had different motivations for creating Native American portrait photographs, and a result, used a distinct style. However, despite the individual artistic styles, each artist conformed to Native American stereotypes common during the nineteenth-century. The thesis includes a discussion of the history of the area, photographer biographies, a stylistic analysis of the photographs, and how the images fit into American Indian stereotypes.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This research project makes use of photographic art practice as an investigative tool, through which a variety of strategies have been employed in order to picture the traditional photographic portrait studio. The thesis provides both a context within which to understand this art practice and expands upon and develops the themes proposed by it. The history of the photographic studio is presented in traditional narrative form and as a discursive formation; being analysed at two specific junctures within this narrative. This historical and cultural contextualisation allows the studio to be viewed in terms of a space and apparatus that embody particular characteristics. It is suggested that whilst these characteristics are explicitly located within discourses relating to class and aesthetics they also incorporate an implicit psychical dimension. The studio as an apparatus is analysed as constituting particular subject positions. These are discussed in relation to ideas drawn from film theory that utilise Lacanian psychoanalytic concepts. The studio is considered as a space in which the presence of the Lacanian Gaze becomes suggested with particular prominence. As an architecture that embodies the presence of the gaze, the studio is discussed in relation to a number of theories around the nature of space and modernity. The possibility of transference as an element of the studio encounter is also posited. Four artists (Helmut Newton, Jemima Stehli, Broomberg and Chanarin and Christopher Williams) are identified as producing work that critically engages the space of the studio. Analysis of this work serves to develop the arguments made so far and provides an extended consideration of the particular subject object relationships that become played out in the studio. This becomes developed further in relation to commercial portrait practices and is demonstrated through analysis of portraits by Mike Disfarmer and Suresh Punjabi both of whom have been the subject of significant theoretical discussion. The thesis concludes with a reflection on how the practice produced for this research has both been conceived and executed in relation to theory but also on how it can be thought of as providing, in itself, a unique and valuable contribution to knowledge. It is argued that the practice not only makes visible a coercive discourse and psychic economy implicit within the studio but that it also promotes a particularly compelling and pertinent consideration of how the two might be related.

This study forms part of the discourse that critiques the current state
of colonial museums in a post-colonial, post-apartheid city. The project
focuses on a proposed urban vision for the precinct of Joubert Park in
Johannesburg and responds to themes of memory, identity, reflection,
art and public space.
In the process, strategies are investigated to enhance identity in the
area using the Johannesburg Art Gallery as a starting point. The gallery
is integrated into the public realm, making it more accessible and
transparent to its context by introducing pavilions and art installations to
the park. These pavilions perform a variety of functions with the main
design taking the form of a photographic urban archive. The pavilion
archives the city and the people of the park by harnessing one of the
current skill sets of the park photographers who are present on site.
The project takes the form of a working camera using the principals of
pinhole and wet plate photography to tangibly capture and display the
happenings and changes of the site and the people who frequent it, over
time. Once the pavilion has archived the desired changes in the city it
will be dismantled and relocated to a new site to begin its life cycle once
more. The movability of the structure acts as a critique on the static
nature of buildings situated in cities that are always in flux.
By introducing an architecture that allows and facilitates public
activity while using people as the subjects for the creation of art by
documenting a changing city, the scheme hopes to enhance the public
realm by encouraging a collective identity to form.<br>Hierdie werkstuk is gebaseer op deurlopende gesprekke wat kritiek lewer

terselfdertyd die publieke omgewing met betrekking tot identiteit, kuns
en sosiale aktiwiteite, op te hef.
Voorstelle word gedoen om die vervalle Joubert Park in Johannesburg
op te gradeer in n buurt waarop inwonders trots kan wees en sosiaal kan

vir hierdie projek. Hierdie Gallery is sentraal gelee wat dit maklik

The purpose of this study is to look at how the figure is imaged through the photographic medium today. Through this purpose I aim to explore the individual expression of the photographer in his photographic medium; the expression of the figure within the medium and the diverse practises of this medium in society - to build up an awareness and understanding of the diverse representations of the human form. The general aims of study are: 1 - to study how these three photographers choose to photograph the figure, through their technical, compositional and individual approach. 2 - to show how diverse the usage of the photographic figure is in the visual world. 3 - to expose an awareness of the photographic figure as transformation of an expression of self. 4 - to show the relationship between the photographer and the figure, the camera and the photographer, the camera and the figure, and the photographic figure and the viewer. 5 - to study my own photographic imagery in relation to the other imagery discussed. My research information was collected through: observations, discussions, literature and practical exploration. This study will attempt to draw conclusions, from its explorations, that will highlight the importance of the individual eye: that it is the individual eye that becomes the vehicle of transformation.

This thesis uses the photographic portrait as an example of contemporary art practice to examine developments in aesthetic sensibility and constructions of meaning with particular address to ineffable qualities in both the subject and in the photograph. It examines the contribution of practice to a wider cultural debate, predominantly described as poststructural. Thomas Ruff's contention that it is impossible to photographically depict an individual, establishes a methodology that interrogates assumptions and directs examination toward reconfiguring issues of theory and practice. In the photographic portrait, what is `essential' equates with the expectation of visual statements that are definitive and what is 'ineffable' is that which transcends words. The persistent premise of capturing the 'essence' is dependant on the notion of 'presence', the certainty of pure perception or essential meaning, now undermined by poststructuralism in terms of conceptions of meaning and authorship. If essential depiction is problematic, how might a correlative adjustment to conceiving and validating photographic meaning be framed? How are essential or ineffable qualities displaced, formed and manifested? What constitutes the contemporary 'meaningful' portrait? Realigned as 'depictions of people', the 'portrait' serves a complex function, adjusted in the light of psychoanalysis and poststructuralism and visibly manifested as metaphor for contemporary consciousness. With particular reference to texts by Julia Kristeva, Emmanuel Levinas, Jacques Derrida and Jean Baudrillard, this thesis demonstrates photographic practice as a form of discourse that visualises implicit truth-values, and participates in debate. It asserts figural interpretations to photographs over literary systems like narrative, and immanent property over aspirations to 'transcendence' or 'essence' and proposes reconfigurations of psychological, critical or poetic 'fiction' as alternatives. It repositions the ineffable as a conceptual domain of possibility that assimilates the dynamic of differance as its poststructural equivalent and proposes a conceptual aesthetic that celebrates aspects of poststructuralism and is rooted in what the photograph provokes rather than what it depicts.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Os retratos fotográficos são uma forma consolidada de se representar. Refletir a partir da visão do retratado no momento em que esta se direciona no sentido oposto ao nosso olhar propõe a existência de um espaço contíguo ao corte que atravessa a quarta parede. Tal compreensão tensiona o contexto que circunda fisicamente o espaço da obtenção dos retratos. Neste trabalho, propõe-se a ampliação do espectro das análises em direção a um espaço definido pela formulação da noção de contraperspectiva: um espaço perspectivo inverso ao tradicional que se instaura no direcionamento do olhar para a câmera, e que se projeta sobre quem observa a imagem, incluindo-o, concebendo que o sentido é, também por isso, ampliado. Este espaço foi complexificado pela prática da selfie, promotora da sobreposição dos papéis do fotógrafo e do fotografado. Para tanto, propôs-se uma investigação qualitativa através de entrevistas com fotógrafos profissionais, buscando entender suas concepções e conflitos acerca dos perfis e retratos dos outros (ou de si próprios). Além da proposição teórica da contraperspectiva, este estudo propõe as noções de espacialidade constitutiva e figurativa, as quais, respectivamente, conceituam as possibilidades físicas da circunstância de obtenção e, no segundo caso, a materialização de uma escolha dentre as possibilidades. Outra percepção advinda do estudo sustenta que a presença de duas forças - que se entrecruzam no plano da imagem – atuam como vetores de entrada e saída da imagem em relação à quarta parede, estabelecendo-se em conflito constante, desperta principalmente pela posição do olhar direto. Acrescenta-se ainda, neste trabalho, a compreensão da ideia dos espaços perpendicular e paralelo, no qual o primeiro estabelece relação entre o retratado e o espaço que ele ocupa, que lhe circunda e do qual ele faz parte, e o segundo posiciona-se sobre o eixo retratado/câmera, efetuando-se na ligação estabelecida entre os olhares do sujeito retratado/visto em relação à posição da lente/observador/vidente. Neste sentido, propõe-se o entendimento que o olhar direto estabelece, mesmo que por breve instante, uma sensação de compartilhamento de espaços entre o observador e o observado. Assim, foi possível compreender em maior profundidade o espaço que permeia a obtenção e como este se relaciona, enquanto dinâmica, com as noções inclusivas nos processos de observação destes retratos.<br>The photographic portraits are, for human beings, a consolidated way to represent. Reflecting from the viewer's perspective, at the moment it is directed in the opposite direction to our normally projective look (at the moment the subject is looking at the lens), it suggests the existence of a space adjoining the cut, translucent, which breaks through the fourth wall. Such an understanding aims to reflect about the whole context that physically surrounds the space of obtaining the portraits, understanding it as everything that involves the production of photographs. In this paper, it is aimed the amplification of the spectrum of the analysis that comprise a movement, inflated by the practice of selfies, that brings up the theoretical frame of the counter-perspective: a perspective space inverse to the traditional one that establishes in the direction of the look for the camera, And that is projected onto the one who observes the image, including that person, conceiving that the meaning is, therefore, also enlarged. In addition, the practice of selfie, which promotes the overlapping of the roles of photographer and photographed, also stresses spatiality insofar as it subverts the role of the observer to the observed. In addition to the theoretical proposition of contraperspective, this study proposes the notions of constitutive and figurative spatiality, which, respectively, conceptualize the physical possibilities of the circumstance of obtaining and, in the second case, the materialization of a choice among the possibilities. Another perception from the study maintains that the presence of two forces act as vectors of entrance and exit of the image in relation to the fourth wall, establishing itself in constant conflict, aroused mainly by the position of the direct look . It is also added in this work the understanding of the idea of perpendicular and parallel spaces, in which the former establishes a relation between the portrayed person and the space he occupies, which surrounds him and of which he is a part, and the second position On the retracted axis / camera, effecting the established connection between the glances of the subject portrayed / seen in relation to the position of the lens / observer / sighted. In this sense, it is proposed the understanding that the direct look establishes, even for a brief moment, a sense of space sharing between the observer and the observed. Thus, it was possible to understand in greater depth the space that permeates the obtaining and how this relates, while dynamic, with the inclusive notions in the processes of observation of these portraits.

Horta, Paula. "Portrait and documentary photography in post-apartheid South Africa : (hi)stories of past and present." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2011. http://research.gold.ac.uk/6491/.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis will explore how South African portrait and documentary photography produced between 1994 and 2004 has contributed to a wider understanding of the country’s painful past and, for some, hopeful, for others, bleak present. In particular, it will examine two South African photographic works which are paradigmatic of the political and social changes that marked the first decade after the fall of apartheid, focusing on the empowerment of both photographers and subjects. The first, Jillian Edelstein’s (2001) Truth & Lies: Stories from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa, captures the faces and records the stories of perpetrators and victims who gave their testimonies to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa from 1996 to 2000. The second, Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin’s (2004a) Mr. Mkhize’s Portrait & Other Stories from the New South Africa, documents the changed/ unchanged realities of a democratic country ten years after apartheid. The work of these photographers is showcased for its specificity, historicity and uniqueness. In both works the images are charged with emotion. Viewed on their own — uncaptioned — the photographs have the capacity to unsettle the viewer, but in both cases a compelling intermeshing of image and text heightens their resonance and enables further possibilities for interpretation. In their contributions to the critical theory of photography Roland Barthes, Victor Burgin and Max Kozloff underscore the centrality of the interplay between image and text in the meaning-making process anchoring a critical engagement with photography. Burgin (1982) states that “Even the uncaptioned photograph, framed and isolated on a gallery, is invaded by language when it is looked at”, and Kozloff (1987) claims that “However they are perceived, images have to be mediated by words”. This thesis singles out emotionally charged and forceful photographs in Edelstein, Broomberg and Chanarin’s repertoire to consider both the complex process of the construction and interpretation of photographic meaning and question if/when photographs do, in fact, depend on language. Central to the architecture of photography is the layering of the representations, firstly through the specific photographic language and form of address which characterises the portrait genre, and secondly through the verbal text accompanying the images. I argue that the viewer’s experience of the photograph unfolds at two distinct moments of viewing. The first moment is defined by the “raw” encounter with the photograph — mediated by an affective response to its emotional or symbolic content — and the second moment encompasses the response to the photograph’s compositional elements, or signifying units, in articulation with the text/narrative accompanying it. This analysis brings to the fore the relation and exchange between photographer and subject and, ultimately, between photographer, subject and viewer. Emmanuel Levinas and Hannah Arendt’s theoretical insights provide a platform for exploring the lived, concrete experience of ethical choice and action at the core of the photographer–subject-viewer humanistic triangulated relationship. Germane to this discussion, Ariella Azoulay’s (2008) conception of “the civil contract of photography” extends the possibility of questioning and/or examining, firstly, the complex intertwining roles of the several participants in the photographic act/encounter and, secondly, the photographic image as an intercultural nexus wherein photographer, subject and viewer meet. The triangulation of photographer-subject-viewer, which constitutes the guiding thread of this study, is further explored and illuminated from the perspective of Mikhail Bakhtin’s conceptualisation of the “utterance”, enabling me to engage with the dialogical dimension of photographic practice. The affinities between Levinas and Bakhtin — two philosophers of alterity — revealed through a common language of responsibility in the relation with the other, inform my reading and discussion of the ethical project of photography in post-apartheid South Africa. Phenomenology, narrative theory and social semiotic visual analysis guide the methodology adopted in this study, creating a synergy between a reflective/dialogical, a discursive/sociological and a more semiological/aesthetic approach. From this perspective, my concern will be in establishing the interdisciplinarity between Visual Culture and Cultural Studies and, in so doing, I will explore the relationship between the photograph, documentary practice, social processes, modes of representation and/or visual testimony, confirming Irit Rogoff’s (1998) claim that “[I]mages do not stay within discrete disciplinary fields (…), since neither the eye nor the psyche operates along or recognizes such divisions. Instead they provide the opportunity for a mode of new cultural writing existing at the intersections of both objectivities and subjectivities”.

Previous issue date: 2005<br>Resumo: Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar o panorama da fotografia na primeira metade do século XX, na cidade de São Paulo, no tocante à produção fotográfica desenvolvida pelas mulheres, proprietárias e gerentes dos próprios estabelecimentos. A abertura do trabalho cabe à pioneira Gioconda Rizzo, que abriu seu ateliê por volta de 1914, prosseguindo com a análise do percurso de nove fotógrafas, considerando que algumas dispunham de maior oferta de informações biográficas e de imagens por elas produzidas em detrimento de outras que deixaram pouquíssimos vestígios. O retrato fotográfico, o gênero mais utilizado por todas, funcionava como uma inserção inicial no mercado fotográfico, onde, com o passar do tempo, cada uma desenvolveu sua carreira, por longo ou curto espaço de tempo, sempre buscando alternativas na prestação de serviços para sobreviver num mercado já naturalmente competitivo, sem considerar as dificuldades acrescidas pela guerra. Pelo panorama apresentado, percebe-se a inexistência da memória do trabalho da mulher, especificamente das fotógrafas, que, apesar da produção de registros fotográficos de toda espécie e para todas as ocasiões, não conseguiram registrar a própria carreira na memória do trabalho de uma metrópole como São Paulo. Perdem-se os retratos, perde-se a memória<br>Abstract: This essay¿s objective is analyze the photographic scene in the first half of 20th century in the city of São Paulo regarding the photographic production developed by the women, owners and conductors of theirs establishments. The opening of the work fits the pioneer Gioconda Rizzo, who opened it¿s atelier in 1914, and continues analyzing the trajectory of nine photographers, considering that some offer more biographical information and images produced from them, in detriment of those very little vestiges had left. No doubt, the portrait was the style more used by all women and men, functioning as an initial insertion in the photographic market, as times went by, each one developed its career, longer or shorter, always searching alternatives rendering services to survive in a competitive market, without considering the difficulties increased by the war. For the presented panorama, it¿s perceived the inexistence of memory of women¿s work, specifically from photographers, despite their wide photographic production had not been capable to register their own career in the labor¿s memory of a city like São Paulo.

Bridges, Jennifer T. "From Typologies to Portraits: Catherine Opie's Photographic Manipulations of Physiognomic Imagery." VCU Scholars Compass, 2005. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/1080.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis proposes that California contemporary photographer Catherine Opie's Being and Having series (1991) and her Portrait series (1993-1996) parody the constraining binary gender discourse and stereotypes that emanate from it. In her art Opie uses familiar codes and identity discourses associated with traditional portrait photography and typological photographs to promote a postmodern and fluid model of gender identity. Her manipulation of photographic technique and subject matter validates cultural stereotypes of gender at the same time that it destabilizes them. Opie also simultaneously highlights fallacies such as the presumed objectivity and evidential force that is associated with the discourse of portrait photography as a documentary field. By presenting her portraits of lesbians to broad-based audiences in such a blatant and stylized manner, Opie comments on the limitations of society's continued reliance on gender non-nativity and physiognomic modes of identifying communities.

The installation is formed from the fifth sculptures, individuals, larger than life size. Their bodies are just shapes and surfaces, which leave place for the rest of the human form. The form is preserved only in black-and-white photography, in portraits, which are part of the sculptures. They ostensibly do nothing, like stopping in time. However they move, but for that move is neccessary initial impetus and it is the role of the viewer. Instability of sculptures is an expression of the unstable position of the human beings in today's society (the origin of instability). Sculptures creates society thanks for their quantity, community and contact.

Swensen, James R. "Dorothea Lange in Utah, 1936-1938: A Portrait of Utah's Great Depression." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2000. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/5157.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In his 1978 biography of Dorothea Lange, Milton Meltzer appraised Lange's 1936 photography in Utah as nothing more than mundane work done for the benefit of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and not for her own benefit as a photographer. Yet, her work in Utah encapsulates the aspirations, goals, and styles of Lange, and gives insight into her vision as a photographer and representative of the New Deal. Through carefully composed photographs, Lange shows the hardships and hope of life in Utah during the Great Depression. This thesis investigates Lange's photographs in order to gain a greater understanding of the FSA in Utah during the Great Depression, the nature of FSA photography, and her work in general. To accomplish these tasks, it will be necessary to investigate the photographs and their captions, the work of other FSA photographers, local histories, contemporary sources, and FSA scholarship. Using these sources, this thesis attempts to identify reasons why Lange took the photographs she did. Using the historical context under which Lange's photographs were made also allows for an examination of Lange's use of visual editing, or, in other words, her artistic manipulation in creating her own vision of the areas she was assigned to photograph. The manner in which she photographed the small rural towns of Consumers, Widtsoe, and Escalante, was not completely indicative of the towns' true nature, or the towns' reality. Rather, the portraits Lange created were personal visions that supported the FSA and her own beliefs and altruistic ideology.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
My dissertation examines the emergence of photographic portraiture as a vehicle for illuminating the experience of European exiles and their cultural migrations under the threat of fascism. I anchor my study in the works of three women European émigrés, each of whom produced a series of portraits while in exile: the German-born French Gisèle Freund (1908-2000), the Austrian-born American Lisette Model (1910-1983), and the German-born American Lotte Jacobi (1896-1980). Despite different working trajectories and methods, each photographer grounds her work in an idiom of traditional portraiture that was subject to testing, revision, preservation, and critique. My dissertation demonstrates that exile granted these artists a double vision, leading them to turn to the human figure to address the end of European modernism (and its attendant form of subjectivity) and to assess the new mass culture and subjectivity on the rise in the United States.
Chapter One considers Gisèle Freund's volte-face from the portrayal of collectivities in interwar Frankfurt to the depiction of individual faces of French intellectuals in color during her period of exile. I describe this abrupt turn to individuality and color - the latter of which was an emblem of American mass culture - as Freund's attempt to address the joint failures of leftist politic in Weimar Germany and the French Popular Front in its fight against fascism's spectacularization of culture. Chapter Two discusses how Lisette Model adapted the caricature style in her portraits, using it as a means to critique the French bourgeoisie in interwar Europe. This is followed by a discussion of how the photographer later used the caricature style to articulate the conditions of the American lumpenproletariat in 1930s and 1940s New York. Chapter Three reads Lotte Jacobi's close-up portraits of the mass-mediated personalities in Weimar Germany as a symptom of the transition from a bourgeois culture of secrecy and autonomy during the nineteenth century to a culture of spectacle in the twentieth. This is followed by a consideration of the aesthetic and commercial “failure” of Jacobi's work in the American visual market during her time of exile, which I argue resulted from a lack of mnemonic space in post-war America.
As a whole, this dissertation addresses how the gaze of exiled photographers created new ways to conceptualize the representation of the human form as the specific instrument for transmitting exiles' experiences of dislocation and continuity.<br>History of Art and Architecture

In this Bachelor„s work the author is looking into social portrait photography by first of all discussing documentary photography, and then social-documentary photography as social portraiture is an inseparable part of these two similar genres. Further on the origins of social documentary photography is discussed based on M. Matulytė„s theoretical work on the subject. For the creative part of the work, a specific group of social isolation is chosen (homeless people) and its relevance as that of a social problem is explained with a short overview of the development of the said social problem.
The first part touches the suject of both documentary and social documentary photography as a context for the theory on social portraiture, definition of which is then based on the mentioned genres. The similarities and differences between the genres are pointed out. The second part contains an overview of social-psichological portraiture in the works of Antanas Sutkus with detailed analysis of the psichological aspect of his portraits as well as general features peviously described in the social portrait definition.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This multimedia project explores the lives of Chinese and Taiwanese migrants living in South Africa and how language, culture, community and marginalisation have come to shape their identities and to visually represent them in a way that is not prevalent in mainstream media. It uses two visual mediums – photography and video interviews – to understand these migrants’ experiences, how they perceive themselves and how they think society perceives them. Data analysis consisted of a process of coding the video interviews and structural analysis of the visuals. Rising worldwide migration has simultaneously increased the spread of diasporic communities. China’s positionality as an economic powerhouse and the influx of East Asian migrants to South Africa in recent years has shone a light on this minority population group. However, much of what is known about them tends to be through forms of mass media which perpetuates stereotypical representations. This paper draws on various literature including acculturation, diasporic communities, representation, languaging and xenophobia to explore the lives of East Asian migrants living in South Africa and search for more empowered forms of representation.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
L'étude intitulée Salvador Dali et la photographie: portraits du surréalisme (1927-/942) montre comment l'image photographique se situe chez l'artiste au carrefour entre théorie et pratique, entre création et vie quotidienne. Elle propose de réévaluer la place du médium dans l'élaboration et la pratique de la théorie surréaliste en décrivant comment ce projet de libération de l'homme est utilisé pour exacerber l'individualisme. Dans un premier temps, Dali utilise l'image photographique comme une instance médiatrice qui lui permet de contrôler ses pulsions et de définir précisément les objets. Elle alimente ensuite son activité paranoïaque-critique et favorise son exploitation du concept de comestibilité. Elle assure enfin la réification de l'artiste et la diffusion de son image théâtralisée dans la presse. Les photographies, au service de la construction de l'identité comme de l'art de Dali, acquièrent ainsi une valeur, concrète ou métaphorique, de portraits.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
A presente dissertação pode resumir-se como sendo o
estudo de uma forma de “construir” um retrato representativo do
quotidiano contemporâneo, aplicado a um caso de estudo, ou seja,
o Bairro da Quinta da Malagueira em Évora. Essa representação
fotográfica surge como epílogo e como resposta pessoal à
problemática identificada, tendo como principal objetivo, ser
simultaneamente, uma síntese da realidade vivida e da génese das
intensões concetuais de Álvaro Siza Vieira.
A investigação foi o processo de obtenção da conclusão
que se traduz numa fotografia; foi o resultado da análise, do estudo e
do envolvimento pessoal no caso de estudo da investigação.
Representar o bairro e retratar as suas vivências numa
fotografia, foi uma tarefa ambiciosa que implicou uma postura
rigorosa, objetiva, científica e ainda uma participação experimental.
Encontrámos viabilidade para a sua concretização, através de
uma investigação científica, aliada a uma postura fotográfica
documental; ABSTRACT: In this dissertation we study a methodology to “build”
a representative portray of the contemporary quotidian, in the
context of a case study in Quinta da Malagueira Housing District,
located in Évora. The corresponding photographic representation
appears as both an epilogue and personal response to the identified
problematic, with the main goal of being concomitantly a synthesis
of the everyday life and of the genesis of the conceptual intentions
of Álvaro Siza Vieira.
The conducted research can be summarised as the process
of achieving the conclusion, epitomised into a single photograph,
and was the product of the analysis, study, and personal involvement
with the presented case study.
The representation of the Quinta da Malagueira Housing
District and the portraying of its daily experiences into a single
photograph became an ambitious task, which implied the adoption
of a rigorous, objective, scientific approach, as well as an experimental
participation. We found it feasible to accomplish by combining
scientific research with a documentary photographic approach.
