    Guadagnini, Walter, True Fictions: Visionary Photography from the 70s to the Present, Silvana, 2021 Abstract Il volume è dedicato al fenomeno della staged photography, la tendenza che a partire dagli anni ottanta ha rivoluzionato il linguaggio fotografico. Attraverso oltre cento opere, il volume racconta come la fotografia abbia saputo raggiungere tra la fine del XX e gli inizi del XXI secolo vertici di fantasia e di invenzione prima affidate quasi esclusivamente al cinema e alla pittura. Pesci rossi che invadono le stanze, cascate di ghiaccio nei deserti, città inventate, Marilyn Monroe e Lady D. che fanno la spesa insieme: tutto questo può accadere grazie a veri e propri set cinematografici…

    Rachel, the circulation of the image, and the death of tragedy

    Bethel, Marnie Elizabeth, Rachel, the circulation of the image, and the death of tragedy, University of Texas, [Austin, Tex. : 2012 Abstract Although it is frequently suggested that the idea of celebrity, as opposed to fame, is a construct of twentieth-century popular culture, many of the originating mechanisms and characteristics of modern celebrity have their roots in the more distant past. In France, the Industrial Revolution and the resulting mechanization of the media in the early to mid-nineteenth century fostered the processes of publicity.

    Scrapbooks, snapshots and memorabilia : hidden archives of performance

    McGillivray, Glen, Scrapbooks, snapshots and memorabilia : hidden archives of performance, Peter Lang, Bern ; New York : 2011 Abstract Scrapbooks, Snapshots and Memorabilia: Hidden Archives of Performance asks the questions: What constitutes an archive? What is worthy of being archived? And who decides? Performances are ephemeral, so archival questions of selection and appraisal determine which performances will be remembered by history and which will not. The essays in this collection each explore a different facet of the ephemerality of performance, and the traces it leaves behind: from photographic stills of actors or sets; draft scripts and production notes, theatre programs and reviews; the language used to evoke the experience…
