Summary/Abstract: The monograph includes texts presenting naturally occurring trends in the history of photography that have acquired distinct forms and stylistic characteristics, such as "street photography" (without analog in traditional representational modes) and "social photography" as part of the broader field of documentary photography (also without analog in fine art). Explores the dynamic tension, attraction, and repulsion between the emerging art of photography and the established canons of classical representational methods. Traces the technologies that imperceptibly infiltrate the photographic image into public space.
