ABSTRACT This thesis contributes to current scholarly debates concerning the witnessing and visualisation of twenty-first century systemic and "socially abstract" state-corporate-military power and its in/visible forms of violence. The nexus of neoliberal democratic hegemony, global corporatization, digital technologies of communication, and modern warfare have produced radically evolving contexts of war photography. This includes the engendering of art- documentary practices which mark a significant departure from socially "realistic" representations to more abstract and conceptual visualisations. In this context, "post- photographic" imagery is not adequately served by recent ethico-political debates regarding the image-making/viewing of direct and/or symbolic violence, which tend to neglect that which is not seen in contemporary news frames (of what is being referred to here as traditional media), namely, the in/visible systems, structures and processes of state-corporate-military power. Accordingly, this thesis argues visual culture scholarship requires recalibrated vocabularies as well as revised conceptual and methodological frameworks for the critical exploration of the subject of systemic, socially abstract power/violence. This thesis strives to advance its contribution to theory-building by way of crafting an alternative approach to critically understanding art-documentary photography and its viewing/reception within a state-corporatist and military-mediatized dispensation. It takes a co- creative and forensic approach to the selected imagery of the UK/US-based photographers Adam Broomberg and Oliver Chanarin, Simon Norfolk, Trevor Paglen, Edmund Clark and ~ 1 ~ Lisa Barnard, critically deploying the trans/interdisciplinary conceptual constellation of, inter alia, "Plexus", "war", complicity, “Vergangenheitsbewältigung”, "Gegenwärtige Bewältigung", corporate personhood, the open/public secret, the State-Corporate Exception, the "cadastral" and the "proxy measure". The concept of a "dispositif" (Rancière) is engaged in the analysis of the imagery, taking into critical account the heterogeneous elements beyond their visible content and framing. By its close, this thesis demonstrates why its refashioning of these concepts to serve as methodological and theoretical tools recasts pertinent aspects of current debates, affording critical and co-creative "ways of seeing" power, its violence, and its visualisation. ~ 2 ~ INTRODUCTION 1. Overview and Aims of the Enquiry This thesis is about state-corporate-military power and the strategies contemporary photographic image-makers1 are developing, and with which viewers are engaging, to "witness" or "visualise" it. It concerns not the direct, raw violence of the state "at war", but the in/visible2, intangible violence of modern warfare and power in a globalized, neoliberal, transnationally corporatized, militarized and digitally hyperconnected dispensation. Instead of power's manifest forms of violence - physical (war/conflict/crisis) and symbolic (ideological/linguistic/cultural) - which has been since the advent of photography its critical focus, this thesis attends to forms of violence which been identified as "systemic" (Kotz, 2009; Žižek, 2009) or "socially abstract" (Roberts, 2014). Žižek defines systemic violence as 'the often catastrophic consequences of the "smooth" functioning of our economic and political systems' (Žižek, 2009: 1). John Roberts, taking his cue from Žižek, identifies the "socially abstract" nature of systemic violence, elucidating it as 'the amnesiacal and catastrophic "smooth" functioning of the capitalist system, based on the normalizing and dehistoricization of conflict.' (Roberts, 2014: 148). It is the kind of violence productive of/by modern capitalist democracy and the twenty-first century "perpetual war" (Kennedy, 2016) in which we are daily immersed. The focus of contemporary photographic witnessing and visualisation on this insidious, elusive and intractable power and its covert, less visible - or in/visible - forms of violence is what, in ~ 3 ~ my view, distinguishes it from traditional or more conventional war art-documentary photography which still cleaves to a largely (art-historically speaking) realist3, figural photojournalistic aesthetics. Since the advent of photography as a recording medium, it has been the witnessing and representation of direct violence and its consequences which has dominated war photography/photojournalism. This latter kind of war photography is archetypically represented by Robert Capa (Spanish Civil War), Lee Miller (World War 2), David Douglas Duncan (Korean War), Larry Burrows and Don McCullin (Vietnam War), and James Nachtwey (Northern Ireland to Rwanda and beyond), et al (Roberts, 1998; Griffin, 1999; Feeney, 2015). Apart from the likes of Martha Rosler and Allan Sekula in the 1970s who sought to represent the less visible or publicly "unseen" (unattended to) effects or conditions of possibility of war and state violence, conflict and socio-economic exploitation, there has until fairly recently been a dearth of photographic attention to the systemic and more socially abstract aspects of neoliberal capitalist democracy and its forms of violence. Contemporary, dissenting image-makers have begun to evolve their practices to visualise and expose what established kinds of war photography were not: the publicly in/visible, socially abstract forms of violence which accrue within the nexus of neoliberal capitalist democracy, global corporatization, digital media and modern warfare. It is for this reason that the works of the fore-mentioned and salubrious lineage - in either their photojournalistic or art/documentary prowess - is set aside here in the interests of the critical and creative exploration of what is now referred to as the "post-photographic" (or "post- documentary")

(This exhibition will not travel. Loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late summer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits; This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration v\n.th the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. History of the exhibition; The suggestion that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art was made by the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery, responded with the idea of an exhibition on the British Country House as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust.

  • Tricks of the Light
    Tricks of the Light: A Study of the Cinematographic Style of the Émigré Cinematographer Eugen Schüfftan Submitted by Tomas Rhys Williams to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Film In October 2011 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to explore the overlooked technical role of cinematography, by discussing its artistic effects. I intend to examine the career of a single cinematographer, in order to demonstrate whether a dinstinctive cinematographic style may be defined. The task of this thesis is therefore to define that cinematographer’s style and trace its development across the course of a career. The subject that I shall employ in order to achieve this is the émigré cinematographer Eugen Schüfftan, who is perhaps most famous for his invention ‘The Schüfftan Process’ in the 1920s, but who subsequently had a 40 year career acting as a cinematographer. During this time Schüfftan worked throughout Europe and America, shooting films that included Menschen am Sonntag (Robert Siodmak et al, 1929), Le Quai des brumes (Marcel Carné, 1938), Hitler’s Madman (Douglas Sirk, 1942), Les Yeux sans visage (Georges Franju, 1959) and The Hustler (Robert Rossen, 1961).

  • Lisa Barnard 32 Smiths Square Photographic Commission
    8 Paddock Road Lisa Barnard Lewes East Sussex BN7 1UU 32 Smiths Square Mob: 07796 374 237 Photographic Commission Web: lisabarnard.co.uk MAGGIE 7 OF 8 32 Smiths Square The old conservative party headquarters at 32 Smiths Square is synonymous with Margaret Thatcher smiling and waving gleefully out of the window on the 2nd floor, after winning the elections of 1979/83/87. The building was the home of the Conservative party from1958 to 2003 and thus represents an important period within our political history. It is common knowledge that Thatcher took a vehement stand against persistently contested European integration and hence the photographic representation of the space will perhaps suggest a degree of satire –the building will re-open as ‘Europe House’ in October 2010. The symbolism of the dulled shades of blue, peeling paintwork and iconography of past alliances will inevitably draw comparisons between the previous use of the building and the hope and importance of the buildings future inhabitants. The building had a notorious reputation for being partly responsible for the demise of the conservative party with its ‘rabbit warren’ style layout, encouraging descent and backstabbing. It is well documented that Michael Howard, during his brief time as leader, made it a priority to move the Conservative Central Office to an environment more ‘aesthetically pleasing’. Lord Parkinson –chairman of the Conservative Party from 1981 to 1983 and again from 1997 to 1998-, said: “a distinctly shabby feel at Central Office was encouraged by the then-treasurer Lord McAlpine, to create a parsimonious air to encourage donors to be generous.
