In some cases, a photograph itself is attributed the force of the real. How can a piece of chemically discolored paper have such potency? How does the meaning of a photograph become fixed? In \u003ci\u003eThe Disciplinary Frame\u003c\/i\u003e, John Tagg claims that, to answer these questions, we must look at the ways in which all that frames photography--the discourse that surrounds it and the institutions that circulate it-- determines what counts as truth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The meaning and power of photographs, Tagg asserts, are discursive effects of the regimens that produce them as official record, documentary image, historical evidence, or art. Teasing out the historical processes involved, he examines a series of revealing case studies from nineteenth-century European and American photographs to Depression-era works by Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Margaret Bourke-White to the conceptualist photography of John Baldessari. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Central to this transformative work are questions of cultural strategy, the growth of the state, and broad issues of power and representation: how the discipline of the frame holds both photographic image and viewer in place, without erasing the possibility for evading, and even resisting, capture. Photographs, Tagg ultimately finds, are at once too big and too small for the frames in which they are enclosed--always saying more than is wanted and less than is desired.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 392\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.8 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52725982069043,"sku":"9780816642885","price":56.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/3HAzRE3iwy9780816642885.webp?v=1763726353","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-disciplinary-frame-photographic-truths-and-the-capture-of-meaning-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
