Notably, McCurry’s neat and predictable photographs of India, taken over the course of 40 years, are more popular than Singh’s more realistic, chaotic and exciting images. Cole argues that this popularity is because of McCurry’s portrayal of places and people due to orientalism, based on conventional preconceptions of historical India. They are our colorful fantasies of old India realized on glossy

Photography plays an important role in reflecting a society. In the article "Looking at discipline, looking at labor", Eric Margolis talks about the representations of the photos of the Indian boarding schools in the US. Photographs are used to demonstrate the civilization of Native America Native American Children. Not only can we see the change of the students after civilization, but also the oppressive system in the Indian School. The photographs are used as the monitoring tool of the government too. The photographs provide us evident to all of these. We can know these by comparing the photos before the Native Indian Kids go to boarding school and after they attend the boarding school. By contrasting the photos from the two periods, we can see that the civilization of the Native American Indian children is actually an oppressive system.

The author delves into how the absence of photographs from the pre-emancipation era influences the visual representation of slavery and how late nineteenth-century photographs are utilized by historians to reconstruct and understand the historical narrative of slavery in the region. Additionally, the document explores the ways in which photography intersects with tourism, labor, and post-emancipation narratives, shedding light on the intricate connections between visual representation and historical interpretation in the context of slavery in the British West Indies. Benjamin's concept of the aura could be used to elaborate on Thompson's central argument, as his notion of the aura refers to the unique presence and authenticity that an original work of art possesses. In the context of Thompson's argument, the absence of photographs from the pre-emancipation era in the British West Indies creates a similar absence of aura, as the original visual records of slavery are not available. Furthermore, Benjamin's concept of the aura can be applied to the late nineteenth-century photographs that are utilized by historians to reconstruct the historical narrative of slavery in the region.

The room is cover with black and white photos of the 1930s and 1940s. The lighting of the room felt appropriate to the setting. The photos were place inches away from other photos on the wall. The painting of the wall, which it was gray and baby blue, made the photo have a serious tone to the exhibition. The entrance of the Manzanar exhibit starts off showing the beginning of Japanese immigrating to America. Walking down there a section that shows news articles with hand drawn images of Japanese Imperialism. These drawings were racist and it feud controversy. The rest of the exhibit is photos of Japanese Americans living in internment camps, or suffering prejudge from the public. The best part of the exhibit is the backroom, in which its shows the photos of Ansel Adams. Adams was a popular photographer and he was exposing the condition of the internment camps. People critizes Adams for being a “Japs lover”. This destroy his reputation of being a professional photographer, but his work is later recognize and accepted by in the American Public. One photo that caught my attention was a photo taken by Dorothea

The Freer Dagger, called such because it currently resides in the collection of the Freer Gallery, is an example of the finely crafted arms and armory created in the Islamic world throughout history. (Fig 1) However, despite it taking the form of a weapon, the construction, materials, and decoration of this dagger suggests that it was most likely not used for combat purposes, but instead served primarily as a symbolic accessory, or a form of protective amulet.

When most of us think of the great Indians of the last century, we think of a thin, well-defined figure standing stern and serious. When we think of a modern Indian, we

I am also excited to be taking this class and learning about the museum basic, however I also believe that it will take a lot more than one class to really learn all we need to know. I which there were more than one class offered. Although, the readings are very interesting and packed with a lot of information, if we read them all. I say this because I struggle with keeping up with the readings on time so I fall behind and when I do catch up I realize how useful the information is. The AAM website and the pamphlet has a great deal of information on the preservation on caring for historic items. I also agree with you that more courses would help, however how do we squeeze them into a two year program. In this case I would say, choose our electives

‘A picture says a thousand words’ this analogy often refers to photographs with immense amount of detail and meaning that it doesn’t need words or any description to exemplify its context. A photograph in particular engages an indicative role into promoting an issue that’s typical of the time. A photograph that highlights copious meaning is evident in Lawrence Beitler’s ‘Lynching of young blacks’. A role of a photograph is to provoke emotions and empathise within the subject of the picture. To do so, famous photographs often accommodate numerous conventions including the historical context, symbolic codes and technical codes. These codes and conventions operate simultaneously to epitomise the significance behind a

I chose this article for the sole reason that I am a photographer so when I read that we could choose the topic of our paper I wanted to find out how photography and sociology can relate more to each other and what types of articles there are on the library website that I can read to get more of and understanding for how sociology and photography go hand in hand with each other. Therefore, obviously, the main topic is Sociology in Photography and how to build solidarity with subjects and the audience. I also found this to be an interesting topic because just last night I went to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History where I got to hear 6 of 11 women photographers from National Geographic speak about their work and they talked a lot about like understanding their subjects and how to build solidarity with their subjects before they photographed them and how to find a way to show the subject to the audience. It was a really wonderful experience to not only look at their works but to also hear them speak and I think that this journal I choose really relates to that which is another good reason I choose it. The research questions being answered within this article are ‘how to build solidarity with your subject’, ‘how to build solidarity with your audience’, ‘how to connect local and global issues with audience’ and ‘how to build an audience network.’

Abstract: This essay reflects on the relationship of photographs, history, and memory based on a found and mutilated photo album. Photographs provide opportunities for disrupting and restructuring history with their attraction to memory; they privilege the subjective, creative power of the personal explanation and provide an emotional and even ideological grounding for memory. Photographs as manifestations of memory assist in the process of understanding the present.

She tries to catch all the circumstance in India which construct the Indian a unique country. She consumed her photography as a means of building her connection to her background culture. Furthermore, she loves to capture the landscaping in India. As in the picture above, in which two people are maybe getting water or going to wash their face, and hands from the river's water is actually a beautiful landscape. All the other images are about her experience growing up in Indian. Her photographs have profuse memories like to feel them. There are not umpteen faces in her photography because there is a certain distance in the

In the second and third photographs of the project titled, Toda Man’s Head and Kulis of the West of India, many of the same problematic assumptions were made by the original photographers. These two photos may not have been taken by the same person, but were published with the same objective of displaying “salvage paradigm” (Tankha). Which is “the attempt to retrieve and collate that which appeared to be dying out” (Tankha). This anthropological term fueled the British empires need to document and study other culture during most of their colonization of India during the 19th century. Often times during this crusade, the native ignorance to outsiders is what led them to be exploited by the photographers, which easily led them to neglect the positionality of the natives themselves. Unlike the first photograph, these man had absolutely no say about how they wanted to be portrayed. Both their original photos were taken to study primitive tribes and document their existence on the benefit of England’s curiosity for distance cultures. In during this, most of these men had no input to the studies intended audients and how they are going to be perceived. Furthermore, being a pieces of evidences in a study where the photographers and authors are trying to prove that there society is century ahead of yours and you are the key that links them together is very portentous of the British. In my opinion if these man had realized the photographers true intension, they would have never
