Join us for another 19v seminar!
Against the backdrop of photographic practices in the wider Caucasus region, this presentation looks to address theoretical and methodological specifics of the history of photography in imperial times and to map some of the networks that provided the conceptual and practical basis for the production, circulation and reception of photographic images. As the project in progress puts an emphasis on shared histories and the entanglement of photographic practices across imperial borders rather than on the aesthetic qualities of single frames, Professor Gutmeyr will talk about the circulation of knowledge that lay behind the introduction of photography into the region, about the role of religion in the adoption of photography, and about the impact of industrial innovation on the development of local visual cultures.
