Photography and Culture mirrors and debates new ways of thinking about photography as the photographic image becomes an ever more central player in our personal and public histories and lifestories. It seeks to become an important text for a new community of interest clustered around those who use reference, interpret or analyse photographic images within their chosen fields in arts and humanities, science and social science. The journal aims to rebalance the over emphasis on art historical approaches, to look at vernacular and applied photography. It embraces the historical, technological, cultural and social aspects of photography, as well as all genres and answers a clear need for a vehicle that fosters exchange about photography and culture across a wide range of disciplines and subfields. With a strong interdisciplinary approach, Photography and Culture offers a forum for diverse voices in the field and seeks to open up the study of photography beyond traditional Eurocentric and Anglo-American perspectives by gathering together the most thoughtful writers and thinkers about photography.

Review:

'Photography & Culture' will create a new context for reflection on the nature of photography, its practices, meanings, and private/public worlds. In doing so it will help to redefine the study of photography as something broader than it is often taken to be. Jennifer G. Tucker, Department of History, Wesleyan University, USA
