With the advent of the daguerreotype in the mid-nineteenth century, white European settlers could imagine themselves as a supra-national community, where the attainment of wealth was rapidly becoming accessible through colonisation. Their dispersal throughout the colonial territories made possible the advent of a new representative type of whiteness that eventually merged with the portrayal of modernity itself. Over time, the colonisation of the Atlantic World, became synonymous with fascination itself within a European mind fixated upon both a racially subordinated world and the technical media through which it was represented. In the intervening centuries, images have acted as a medium of the imaginary, allowing for ideas around classification and the measurement of value to travel and to situate themselves as universal means. Contemporary societies still grapple with the residues of race, gender, class, and sexuality first established by the contrived mores of this representational medium and those who were racialised by the camera as objects of fascination, curiosity, or concern have remained so well into the postdigital era. The book will be of interest to scholars working in history of photography, art history, colonialism, and critical race theory"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Photography $z America $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Photography $x History. $z America $x History. 650 0 $a Daguerreotype $z America $x History. 650 0 $a White privilege (Social structure) $z America $x History. 650 0 $a Stereotypes (Social psychology) in art $x History. 650 0 $a White people in popular culture $z America $x History. 650 7 $a Daguerreotype. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00886764 650 7 $a Photography $x Influence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061766 650 7 $a Photography $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061826 650 7 $a Stereotypes (Social psychology) in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01431524 650 7 $a White people in popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01174835 650 7 $a White privilege (Social structure) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02059955 651 7 $a America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239786 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781000914702 830 0 $a Routledge history of photography 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014817.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3E640D586D7C11EEBBB0FB5526ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
