Introduction: From archaeography to photology/ Lesley McFadyen and Dan Hicks -- The transformation of visual archaeology (part one)/ Dan Hicks -- 'At any given moment': Duration in archaeology and photography/ Mark Knight and Lesley McFadyen -- Exposing archaeology: Time in archaeological photographs/ J.A. Baird -- Parafictions: A polaroid archaeology/ Joana Alves-Ferreira -- Archaeology, photography and poetics/ Sergio Gomes -- Duration and representation in archaeology and photography/ Antonia Thomas -- Photographing buildings/ James Dixon -- Photographing graffiti/ Alex Hale and Iain Anderson -- Photography, archaeology and visual repatriation/ Samuel Derbyshire -- The aerial imagination/ Oscar Aldred -- The transformation of visual archaeology (part two)/ Dan Hicks.
"Archaeology and Photography imagines a new kind of Visual Archaeology that tackles these questions. The book reassesses the central place of Photography as an archaeological method, and re-wires our cross-disciplinary conceptions of time, objectivity and archives, from the History of Art to the History of Science.
Through twelve new wide-ranging and challenging studies from an emerging generation of archaeological thinkers, Archaeology and Photography introduces new approaches to historical photographs in museums and to contemporary photographic practice in the field. The book re-frames the relationship between Photography and Archaeology, past and present, as more than a metaphor or an analogy - but a shared vision.
Archaeology and Photography calls for a change in how we think about photography and time. It argues that new archaeological accounts of duration and presence can replace older conceptions of the photograph as a snapshot or remnant received in the present. The book challenges us to imagine Photography, like Archaeology, not as a representation of the past and the reception of traced in the present but as an ongoing thransformation of objectivity and archive." -- Publisher's description.
