Read moreIt is not at all surprising that the history of photography is connected with the history of capitalism, but it can be more difficult to capture how and why this is the case. Among other things, this anthology of texts published by Verso is valuable because it is based on a meeting of leading theorists of photography and theorists of capitalism…

Paris’, Gertrude [Stein] said, ‘was where the twentieth century was’, ‘the place that suited those of us that were to create the twentieth-century art and literature”.

These are some of the questions posed by theorist and political scientist Ariella Aïsha Azoulay in her book Potential History: Unlearning Imperialism, in which she entwines photography into networks of power relationships between nations and cultures…
