«Raw Histories: Photographs, Anthropology and Museums» is Elizabeth Edwards's essay, published by Berg Publishers in paperback (284 pages, in English).
Edwards studies the role of photography in anthropology, from fieldwork to the museum. Starting from the ambiguity and 'raw' character of images, she discusses their historical value; with cases from the Pacific, she shows how photographs participate in a changing dialogue between archives, institutions and diverse cultural experiences.
The work is part of the Materializing Culture series and was originally published in May 2001. In the catalogue it is classified under art and culture and history.
It will interest scholars and professionals of visual anthropology, museology and the history of photography.
