note = {How to account for the peculiar attraction of certain photos? How to
deal with the specific use of images in particular contexts? Monika
Schwärzler presents a variety of photographic case studies exploring
visual phenomena from the point of view of media analysis as well as
from sociological, aesthetic, and psychoanalytic perspectives. The
topics range from a new reading of Thomas Struth's street photographs
to CERN photos with their charged rhetoric, from the assault of
photographic close-ups to speculations on an anonymous slide
collection featuring a woman with an ever-present white handbag. The
book is intended for an audience receptive to the analytical appeal of
images, prepared to go beyond what can be taken at face value.},
