| Summary: | This volume provides a philosophical and historical account of early photography in India that focuses on how aesthetic experiments in colonial photography changed the nature of perception. Considering photographs from the Sepoy Revolt of 1857 along with landscape, portraiture, and famine photography, this book explores larger issues of truth, memory, and embodiment. The book scrutinises the colonial context to understand the production of sense itself, proposing a new theory of interpreting the historical difference of aesthetic forms. |
