CALL FOR PAPERS:
CAA 2007 Annual Meeting, New York City, 14-17 February 2007
Photography in and about the Middle East
This session will examine photographic imagery of the Middle East-ist
peoples, cultures, geography, and history--from the nineteenth century to
the present. Papers are invited that offer insight, both pragmatic and
theoretical, into such issues as: the means and motives of both indigenous
and Western photographers in the region; receptions and transformations of
photographic imagery as filtered through reproductive technology and printed
forms (ranging from photo printing and postcards to journal and book
illustrations); the varieties of photographic formats (typological,
archival, and scientific) and their various claims to veracity; and the
desire in contemporary art and photography to reuse, question, and move
beyond earlier imagery. We aim to explore the past and present of
photographic representation of the Middle East, its visual culture, and its
ties to the larger world.
