{"product_id":"capitalism-the-camera","title":"Capitalism \u0026 The Camera","description":"Photography was invented between the publication of Adam Smith’s \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;The Wealth of Nations\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; and Karl Marx and Frederick Engels’s \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;The Communist Manifesto\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;. Taking the intertwined development of capitalism and the camera as their starting point, the essays in \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Capitalism and the Camera \u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;investigate the relationship between capitalist accumulation and the photographic image, and ask whether photography might allow us to refuse capitalism’s violence—and if so, how?\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Drawn together in productive disagreement, the essays in this collection explore the relationship of photography to resource extraction and capital accumulation, from 1492 to the postcolonial; the camera’s potential to make visible critical understandings of capitalist production and society, especially economies of class and desire; and propose ways that the camera and the image can be used to build cultural and political counterpublics from which a democratic struggle against capitalism might emerge. \u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;With essays by Ariella Aïsha Azoulay, Siobhan Angus, Kajri Jain, Walter Benn Michaels, T. J. Clark, John Paul Ricco, Blake Stimson, Chris Stolarski, Tong Lam, and Jacob Emery.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57315155018110,"sku":"NW9781839760808","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781839760808.jpg?v=1778715221","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/capitalism-the-camera","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
