Dismal Science

Résumé du livre

"On the surface, our society looks much different than it did when Allan Sekula began writing criticism and making photographic works. In the late 1960s and early 1970s there was an identifiable counterculture, struggling, for example, to end the war in Vietnam. By contrast, today's social fabric seems both less tattered and more opaque. We can no longer identify a specific ""enemy"" as a tangible force that can be grasped or pictured, and perhaps it is even harder now to recognize our own complicity."
