Walter Benn Michaels, "The Beauty of a Social Problem: Photography, Autonomy, Economy"
ISBN: 022621026X, 022642118X | 2015 | EPUB | 240 pages | 8 MB
Bertolt Brecht once worried that our sympathy for the victims of a social problem can make the problem’s “beauty and attraction” invisible. In The Beauty of a Social Problem, Walter Benn Michaels explores the effort to overcome this difficulty through a study of several contemporary artist-photographers whose work speaks to questions of political economy.
