| Zusammenfassung: | Since the introduction of photography by commercial studio photographers and the colonial state in Kenya, this global medium has been intensely debated and contested among Muslims on the cosmopolitan East African coast. This book does not only explore the making, circulation, and consumption of popular photographs, but also the other side, their rejection and obliteration, an essential aspect of a medium's history that should not be neglected. It deals with various »social spaces of refusal« in the local Muslim milieu and in that of »traditional« spirit mediums in which (gendered) visibility was (and is) contested in various and creative ways. It focuses on the »aesthetics of withdrawal«: the various ways and techniques that process the photographic act as well as the photographic image to theatricalize the surface of the image in new ways by veiling, masking, and concealing. In a fragmented historical perspective, Heike Behrend seeks to complement, decenter, and counter the history of photography as it has been told by the West and to narrate another history beginning with preceding local media such as textiles and spirit possession |

Aufl Bielefeld transcript Verlag [2014] © 2013 1 Online-Ressource (266 Seiten) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Image 60 Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 03. Jan 2023) Since the introduction of photography by commercial studio photographers and the colonial state in Kenya, this global medium has been intensely debated and contested among Muslims on the cosmopolitan East African coast. This book does not only explore the making, circulation, and consumption of popular photographs, but also the other side, their rejection and obliteration, an essential aspect of a medium's history that should not be neglected. It deals with various »social spaces of refusal« in the local Muslim milieu and in that of »traditional« spirit mediums in which (gendered) visibility was (and is) contested in various and creative ways. It focuses on the »aesthetics of withdrawal«: the various ways and techniques that process the photographic act as well as the photographic image to theatricalize the surface of the image in new ways by veiling, masking, and concealing. In a fragmented historical perspective, Heike Behrend seeks to complement, decenter, and counter the history of photography as it has been told by the West and to narrate another history beginning with preceding local media such as textiles and spirit possession In English Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Africa East African Coast Ethnology Islam Media Anthropology Media History Photography Postcolonialism SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & Social bisacsh Portrait photography--Kenya--Philosophy Bildlosigkeit (DE-588)4763446-7 gnd rswk-swf Soziale Funktion (DE-588)4289518-2 gnd rswk-swf Muslim (DE-588)4040921-1 gnd rswk-swf Soziokultureller Wandel (DE-588)4227561-1 gnd rswk-swf Porträtfotografie (DE-588)4046840-9 gnd rswk-swf Islam (DE-588)4027743-4 gnd rswk-swf Kenia (DE-588)4030236-2 gnd rswk-swf Kenia (DE-588)4030236-2 g Muslim (DE-588)4040921-1 s Porträtfotografie (DE-588)4046840-9 s Islam (DE-588)4027743-4 s Bildlosigkeit (DE-588)4763446-7 s Soziokultureller Wandel (DE-588)4227561-1 s DE-604 Soziale Funktion (DE-588)4289518-2 s Geschichte z Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 9783837624564 https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783839424568 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
