Glitchy Vision: A Feminist History of the Social Photo

Amanda K. Greene’s Glitchy Vision is a critical excavation of social photography that offers a much-needed historical map for reading the 21st century’s digitally mediated experiences. In this book, Greene skillfully weaves her feminist methodology of “glitchy vision” through an analysis of interwar subjects and visual media objects to contest dominant linear narratives of technological progress. An invaluable resource for visual media and photography scholars, and an overall roadmap for reading the blurry lines of contemporary digitality, this excavation into photography’s social history offers readers with an encouraging look at our digital future by reflecting on our analogue past.
