Feeling Photography

Reviews / Votes

"I found it a fascinating read. To my knowledge, the book is unique in its coverage of this perspective on photography, and I would recommend this book for anyone interested in photography and visual culture on a theoretical level. Very useful for undergraduate and graduate studies in fine arts, visual culture, gender studies, and, obviously, photography." - Sandra Cowan (ARLIS/NA Reviews) "The collection offers some very useful ways of thinking about the emerging field of affect theory and its applications to the broad domain of photography. ... [Brown and Phu's] anthology ... substantially broadens the terrain beyond photojournalism and documentary-currently, the core concerns of the literature on photography and the affective turn." - Susan Best (CAA Reviews) "Elspeth H. Brown and Thy Phu's Feeling Photography is an exciting contribution to the field of photography theory.... This collection will be of interest to a very wide range of scholars in the humanities, and not just those that study photography - the book offers a range of ways to think about the function of photography as it often exists unanalyzed at the margins of a variety of social and cultural phenomena." - Rachel Alpha Johnston Hurst (Reviews in Cultural Theory) "This volume presents a significant contribution to photographic criticism and affect theory, adding to recent scholarship...the collection will be of interest to researchers of affect, visual culture and media, with relevance to documentary film." - Emily Bullock (Media International Australia) "It's visual studies and affect theory in one space, and with contributors like Kimberly Juanita Brown, Ann Cvetkovich, and Dana Seitler, it's a powerhouse collection." - Melissa Chadburn (Literary Hub)
