"Taking its point of departure from the writings of Karl Marx, Walter Benjamin, and Fredric Jameson, this book is a kind of training manual for understanding the role and place of reading and writing within the political domain, and for imagining-across time but without losing the specificity of particular historical moments-the grounds for a collective political imagination able to extract hope from what Cadava and Melsio call the archives of communal grief"--

All photographs are to some extent about light. The eighty-five stunning colour photographs in this book are a masterful exploration not only of the light falling on objects or filling spaces but of the very act of seeing.

Featuring images that converse across temporal, political and cultural boundaries by artists such as Lola and Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Marcelo Brodsky, Joan Colom, Marc Ferrez and Joan Fontcuberta, this book argues that the photographic image comes into being only as a consequence of reproduction, displacement and itinerancy.

Demonstrates that Walter Benjamin articulates his conception of history through the language of photography. Focusing on Benjamin's discussions of the flashes and images of history, this title argues that the questions raised by this link between photography and history touch on issues that belong to the entire trajectory of his writings.
