Description
This book explores the idea that while photographs are images, they are also objects. The case studies presented focus on photographs active in different institutional, political, religious, and domestic spheres. The physical properties, the nature of their use, and the cultural formations in which they function make their "objectness" central to how we should understand them.

The case studies presented focus on photographs active in different institutional, political, religious, and domestic spheres, where physical properties, the nature of their use, and the cultural formations in which they function make their "objectness" central to how we should understand them.
