This period in Britain was marked by instability following the collapse of the welfare state, massive unemployment, race riots, and workers' strikes. However, this was also a time in which various forms of social activism emerged or solidified, including the Women's Movement, whose members increasingly turned to photography as a tool for their political activism. Rather than focusing on the aesthetic quality of the images produced, Klorman-Eraqi looks at the application of feminist theory, photojournalism, advertising, photo montage, punk subculture and aesthetics, and politicized street activity to emphasize the statement and challenge that the photographic language of these works posed. She shows both the utilitarian uses of photography in activism, but also how these same photographers went on to be accepted (or co-opted) into the mainstream art spaces little by little, sometimes with great controversy. The Visual is Political highlights the relevance and impact of an earlier contentious, creative, and politicized moment of feminism and photography as art and activism"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "This book examines the phenomenon of feminist photography as it unfolded in Britain during the 1970s and 1980s. Klorman-Eraqi offers a unique analysis of the intersection between feminism and photography and the period's social conflicts and theoretical debates, and adds to the understanding of feminist countercultural practices produced in this moment and of their continuing relevance"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Feminism $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009124208 650 0 $a Feminism and art $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women photographers $z Great Britain $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Economic conditions $y 20th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85056676 650 7 $a PHOTOGRAPHY $x History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Feminism & Feminist Theory. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART $x Contemporary (1945- ) $x Contemporary (1945- ) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Women's Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a ART $x Art & Politics. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Feminism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922671 650 7 $a Feminism and art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922727 650 7 $a Women photographers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178288 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213022059.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2933C1C00CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
