As a crucial extension of its ongoing investigation of vernacular photography, The Walther Collection has collaborated with key scholars and critical thinkers in the history of photography, women's studies, queer theory, Africana studies and curatorial practice to interrogate vernacular's theoretical limits, as well as to conduct case studies of a striking array of objects and images, many from the collection's holdings. From identification portraits of California migrant workers, physique photographs that circulated underground in queer communities, to one-of-a-kind commemorative military albums from Louisiana to Vietnam, these richly illustrated essays treat a breadth of material formats, social uses and shared communities, offering new ways to consider photography in relation to our political affiliations, personal agency and daily rituals. By reconsidering the multiple contexts and meanings of often-overlooked photographic practices, 'Imagining Everyday Life' is a groundbreaking contribution articulating the vital debates and complexities within an energizing new field. 650 Photography |xSocial aspects. 650 Vernacular photography |zUnited States |vPictorial works. 650 Portrait photography. 700 Campt, Tina |eeditor. 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6770_000000000000000_CAM |70 |8REF |9155937OSA |bOSA |d2022-01-31 |eOSA |l0 |o770 CAM |r2022-01-31 |w2022-01-31 |yBK |cReference 920 01 jYxn4Eoq 992 01 770_000000000000000_CAM |bSSZ_ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_NPD 966 |cIn the Research Room
