Philosophy of Photography 13.2 is out now! Special Issue

Intellect is pleased to announce that Philosophy of Photography 13.2 is out now!

Special Issue: ‘Violence, Part 1’

In 2022, we issued a call for contributions on questions of violence. The response was substantial and qualitatively rich enough that we will devote two full issues to the topic, this issue, POP 13.2 and the next, POP 14.1.

Photography’s ubiquity means that it touches all realms of life. Indeed, it has arguably taken on a new and fundamental characteristic as the way that things emerge in heavily technologized societies. Violence is undoubtedly a determining category of this mode of society. Is violence, then, photographic? If so, is this a contingent fact or a necessary condition?

Aims & Scope

This international peer-reviewed journal aims to provide a forum for theoretical and critical debates arising from the historical, political, cultural, scientific and critical matrix of ideas, practices and techniques that constitute photography as a multifaceted and changing form. In a contemporary context, characterized by its diversity and rapid rate of transformation, the conjunction of 'philosophy' and 'photography' in the journal's title is intended to provoke reflection on the ways in which existing and emergent discourses might engage with each other to inform our understanding of the photographic.

This title is indexed with the Web of Science’s Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).
