America and the long 19th century
Inhalt:
The end of the nineteenth century saw massive developments and innovations in photography at a time when the forces of Western modernity - industrialisation, racialisation, and capitalism - were quickly reshaping the world. 'The Unintended' slows down the moment in which the technology of photography seemed to speed itself - and so the history of racial capitalism - up. It follows the substantial shifts in the markets, mediums, and forms of photography during a legally murky period at the end of the nineteenth century. Monica Huerta traces the subtle and paradoxical ways legal thinking through photographic lenses reinscribed a particular aesthetics of whiteness in the very conceptions of property ownership.
