4. The City As Photographic Text [electronic resource] : Urban Documentary Photography of São Paulo [2021]
- Foster, David William.
- : University of Pittsburgh Press, 2021.
- Description
- Book — 1 online resource (248 p.).
- Summary
-
The City as Photographic Text offers the first comprehensive presentation of photography on Sao Paulo. But more than just a study of one city's photographic legacy, this book is a manual for how to understand and talk about Latin American photography in general. Focusing on major figures and referencing widely available books of their work, David William Foster offers a unique analysis of how photographers have contributed to our understanding of the megalopolis Sao Paulo has become. Eschewing a conventional historical approach, Foster explores how best to interpret visual urban life. In turn, by focusing interest on the photographic text and the ways in which it creates an interpretive meaning for the city, rather than rehearsing the circumstances under which the photographs were taken, this study provides a model for productive comment on urban photography as a project of visual meaning with important artistic attributes. As a unique entry in the inventory of scholarly writing on Sao Paulo, The City as Photographic Text adds to our understanding of the enormous cultural significance this city holds as a world-class urban center.
