In the course of an extended imaginary dialogue with Roland Barthes's Camera Lucida, Elkins argues that photography is also about meaninglessness--its apparently endless capacity to show us things that we do not want or need to see--and also about pain, because extremely powerful images can sear permanently into our consciousness. Extensively illustrated with a surprising range of images, the book demonstrates that what makes photography uniquely powerful is its ability to express the difficulty--physical, psychological, emotional, and aesthetic--of the act of seeing. 606 $aPhotography, Artistic 606 $aPhotography$xPhilosophy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhotography, Artistic. 615 0$aPhotography$xPhilosophy. 676 $a770.1 700 $aElkins$b James$f1955-$0847219 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461353303321 996 $aWhat photography is$91903419 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03689oam 2200721I 450 001 9910778961503321 005 20151002020706.0 010 $a1-317-49261-7 010 $a1-317-49262-5 010 $a1-315-71166-4 010 $a1-283-45669-9 010 $a9786613456694 010 $a1-84465-428-1 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315711669 035 $a(CKB)2550000000079034 035 $a(EBL)1886877 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000659297 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11955752 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000659297 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10696443 035 $a(PQKB)10458330 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000668319 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12271712 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000668319 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10699602 035 $a(PQKB)11551654 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1886877 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1886877 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10553892 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL345669 035 $a(OCoLC)898104090 035 $a(OCoLC)958107970 035 $a(OCoLC)794490872 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB136230 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9781844654284 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000079034 100 $a20180706e20142009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aUnderstanding postcolonialism /$fJane Hiddleston 210 1$aLondon ;$aNew York :$cRoutledge,$d2014. 215 $a1 online resource (vi, 202 pages) $cdigital, PDF file(s) 225 1 $aUnderstanding movements in modern thought. 300 $aFirst published 2009 by Acumen. 311 $a1-84465-160-6 311 $a1-84465-161-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aIntroduction -- Fanon and Sartre: colonial Manichaeism and the call to arms -- Decolonization, community, nationalism: Gandhi, Nandy and the Subaltern Studies Collective -- Foucault and Said: colonial discourse and Orientalism -- Derrida and Bhabha: self, other and postcolonial ethics -- Khatibi and Glissant: postcolonial ethics and the return to place -- Ethics with politics?

Much of the seminal work in postcolonialism has been shaped by currents in philosophy, notably Marxism and ethics. Understanding Postcolonialism examines the philosophy of postcolonialism in order to reveal the often conflicting systems of thought which underpin it. In so doing, the book presents a reappraisal of the major postcolonial thinkers of the twentieth century. Ranging beyond the narrow selection of theorists to which the field is often restricted, the book explores the work of Fanon and Sartre, Gandhi, Nandy, and the Subaltern Studies Group, Foucault and Said, Derrida and Bhabha, Khatibi and Glissant, and Spivak, Mbembe and Mudimbe. A clear and accessible introduction to the subject, Understanding Postcolonialism reveals how, almost half a century after decolonisation, the complex relation between politics and ethics continues to shape postcolonial thought. 410 0$aUnderstanding movements in modern thought. 606 $aPostcolonialism 615 0$aPostcolonialism. 676 $a325.3 700 $aHiddleston$b Jane.$0850653 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778961503321 996 $aUnderstanding postcolonialism$93709659 997 $aUNINA
