This was the beginning of Muybridge's decades-long investigation into instantaneous photography, culminating in his masterpiece \u003ci\u003eAnimal Locomotion\u003c\/i\u003e. Muybridge became one of the most influential photographers of his time, and his stop-motion technique helped pave the way for the motion-picture industry, born a short decade later. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Coauthored by cultural geographer Tim Cresswell and art historian John Ott, this book reexamines the motion studies as historical forms of \"mobility,\" in which specific forms of motion are given extraordinary significance and accrued value. Through a lively, interdisciplinary exchange, the authors explore how mobility is contextualized within the transformations of movement that marked the nineteenth century and how mobility represents the possibilities of social movement for African Americans. Together, these complementary essays look to Muybridge's works as interventions in knowledge and experience and as opportunities to investigate larger social ramifications and possibilities. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most important contributions to the history of photography, Eadweard Muybridge's series of motion studies is standard viewing for anyone interested in the field. \u003ci\u003eMuybridge and Mobility\u003c\/i\u003e presents fresh perspectives on this iconic series and challenges readers to think of it in new ways.--Steven Hoelscher, Professor of American Studies and Geography, University of Texas at Austin \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"\u003ci\u003eMuybridge and Mobility\u003c\/i\u003e offers fresh insight into this famous photographer.
