REPRESENTATIONS OF WORK IN IRANIAN PHOTOGRAPHY 1873 - 1938
WENGER, JONAS

VAT included

Description
The introduction of photography, developed in Europe, quickly led to the emergence of an independent photographic culture in Iran. Using the motif of work as an example, Jonas Wenger examines the extent to which local photographers updated existing Orientalist image stereotypes when appropriating the technology, and what rhetorical functions certain visual conventions had for the internal Iranian discourse on social development, modernity and national independence.
