Reviews
Quasi-Marxist/Althusserian analysis of the ways in which photography has been deployed on behalf of the state to categorize and control (through processes of documentation), as well as ways in which photography was deemed the object of property through copyright and/or considered as art. Half very interesting, half theory babble.
