商品描述

Description:

Basic Critical Theory for Photographers generates discussion, thought and practical assignments around key debates in photography. Ashley la Grange avoids the trap of an elitist and purely academic approach to critical theory, taking a dual theoretical and practical approach when considering the issues. Key critical theory texts (such as Sontag's 'On Photography' and Barthes' 'Camera Lucida') are clarified and shortened. La Grange avoids editorilising, letting the arguments develop as the writers had intended; it is the assignments which call into question each writer's approach and promote debate.

This is the ideal book if you want to understand key debates in photography and have a ready-made structure within which to discuss and explore these fascinating issues. It is accessible to students, from high school to university level, but will also be of interest to the general reader and to those photographers whose training and work is concerned with the practical aspects of photography.

Also includes invaluable glossary of terms and a substantial index that incorporates the classic texts, helping you to navigate your way through these un-indexed works. The book also contains useful information on photo-mechanical processes, explaining how a photograph can appear very differently, and as a result be interpreted in a range of ways, in a variety of books.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

描述：
《攝影師的基礎批判理論》圍繞攝影中的關鍵辯論引發討論、思考和實踐任務。Ashley la Grange避免了對批判理論的精英主義和純學術方法的陷阱，採取了理論和實踐相結合的方式來考慮這些問題。關鍵的批判理論文本（如桑塔格的《攝影論》和巴特的《照相機眼》）被澄清和縮短。La Grange避免了編輯化，讓論點按照作者的意圖發展；正是這些任務質疑了每位作者的方法，並促進了辯論。

如果你想了解攝影中的關鍵辯論並且希望有一個現成的結構來討論和探索這些迷人的問題，這本書是理想的選擇。它對學生來說易於理解，從高中到大學水平，但也對一般讀者和那些攝影師感興趣，他們的培訓和工作涉及攝影的實踐方面。

還包括一個寶貴的術語詞彙表和一個包含經典文本的大型索引，幫助您在這些未編目的作品中導航。該書還包含有關光學機械過程的有用信息，解釋了照片如何在不同的書籍中以不同的方式呈現，並因此被解釋為多種方式。
