Beyond Light and Shadow
Beyond Light and Shadow, first published in German in 1992, is hailed as the most objective study on the history of paranormal photography ever written. Rather than attempting to prove or disprove the existence of paranormal photography, Dr. Krauss presents an unbiased report and analysis of the relationship between photography and paranormal psychology. ...
Concrete Photography
This book is the first to present the history, aesthetics, and technique of Concrete Photography, a longstanding but formerly unplumbed subgenre within Concrete Art--or in Theo van Doesburg's formulation, art which depicts nothing but "itself." The contributing scholars here identify approximately 180 works by 80 international artists, who, in the words of photography professor and practitioner Gottfried Jâger, have produced a "self-referential world of images, highly abstract, non-figurative."
Laughter and the Camera
The French philosopher Henri Bergson believed that laughter holds a special place in people's lives together. He identified it as a 'social gesture' that makes it possible for people in general to deal with the new and unfamiliar.This book describes the birth and triumph of photography in the 19th century from a hitherto unfamiliar perspective - that of how the new medium was laughed at.Lavishly illustrated with caricatures, cartoons and sundry satirical sources, as well as amusing writings from the period, it provides a graphic and narrative account of photography's gradual acceptance by society at large.This publication contains original material of the time; including texts by iconic writers such as Lewis Carroll and Virginia Woolf, and images by artists such as Honor� Daumier, among others

The essays will investigate this premise from various disciplines (architecture, art, cartography, film, literature and philosophy).
Photography and Doubt
Recent decades have seen photography’s privileged relationship to the real come under question. Spurred by the postmodern critique of photography in the 1980s and the rise of digital technologies soon thereafter, scholars have been asking who and what built this understanding of the medium in the first place. Photography and Doubt reflects on this interest in photography’s referential power by discussing it in rigorously historical terms. How was the understanding of photographic realism cultivated in the first place? What do cases of staged and manipulated photography reveal about that realism’s hold on audiences across the medium’s history? Have doubts about photography’s testimo...
