How do we see the world around us? The Penguin on Design series includes the works of creative thinkers whose writings on art, design and the media have changed our vision forever.
Susan Sontag’s groundbreaking critique of photography asks forceful questions about the moral and aesthetic issues surrounding this art form. Photographs are everywhere. They have the power to shock, idealize or seduce, they create a sense of nostalgia and act as a memorial, and they can be used as evidence against us or to identify us. In six incisive essays, Sontag examines the ways in which we use these omnipresent images to manufacture a sense of reality and authority in our lives.

Photography as a medium possesses the unique potential to reach and fascinate a single individual as well as a massive crowd, all the while inspiring those behind the camera lens to look at the world, to record every detail, and to capture endless splendor....
評分自己前些日子一直在讀《論攝影》,遇到覺得翻譯也許有問題的地方就查找原文,並試著翻譯成更為準確的句子。進行瞭16處翻譯,供喜歡閱讀《論攝影》的朋友參考。 金瑋 曾在彼方 2009.12.15 在我的博客上,在問題文字上有黃色底色,能看得更清楚,歡迎訪問。 http://jinwei...
評分觀看先於言語,一切認識從眼睛開始,但事到如今,眼睛卻看不見真相。在影像無處不在、圖片漫天飛舞的當今世界,我們充滿優越感地認為,人類終於趕上瞭時間,掌控瞭世界,我們終於將一切化約為可見,簡化為影像,收集照片,等同於收集世界。我們從不懷疑照片中的時空的真實性,...
評分首先,插入一句,長樂路之男(上海)同學認為關於此書“編者懶惰得沒有插入一幅攝影傢的作品” ,是一大遺憾,我覺得很可笑。這書的英文原版也沒有任何攝影作品的,這麼說是不是作者susan本人太懶惰瞭呢? 我當初最開始在書店翻這書的時候,其實偏偏它通篇一張照片都沒有...
評分我收到過一張阿叔寄來的明信片,上麵寫著:“多齣去走走,但不要帶你的相機。” 阿叔跟我一樣,是人大新聞學院的本科生。真正跟他熟悉起來,卻是在我進入人大話劇團之後。我們曾一塊兒到京畿爨底下村去遊玩過,那時他總是沉浸在一花一葉引發的冥思之中,而我則拿...
圖書標籤: 攝影 SusanSontag photography 藝術 Photography 蘇珊桑塔格 美國 理論
終於讀完瞭,還要再讀好多遍。最醍醐灌頂的可能是桑塔格把影像和語言的比擬,並不是所有語言的都是藝術,影像也服從於實用功能。//是Photographic seeing讓我以為沒有一張壞照片,隻有人類的壞品味存在。
評分巴特那本是優美的個人體驗談,似乎也是繼承法國essay寫作的傳統,蘇珊桑塔格這本更豐富,除瞭敏銳精確的現象定位,捕捉與描摹,還進行視域更廣的大眾文化分析。最有趣的是,巴特好惡鮮明而又不加掩飾地擲齣自己的觀點,而蘇珊桑塔格通篇采取瞭正說說反說說的寫法。
評分amazing book...should own whole life...
評分Photographers' bible.
評分To photograph people is to violate them, by seeing them as they never see themselves, by having knowledge of them that they can never have; it turns people into objects that can be symbolically possessed. Just as a camera is a sublimation of the gun, to photograph someone is a subliminal murder - a soft murder, appropriate to a sad, frightened time
