The daguerreotype’s first frame: François Arago’s moral economy of instruments.John Tresch - 2007 - Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A 38 (2):445-476.details This paper examines the meanings of the daguerreotype for the astronomer and physicist who introduced it to the world, François Arago. The regime of knowledge production which held sway at the birth of photography implied an alternative view of the moral and political implications of machines from that usually suggested by discussions of ‘mechanization’. Instead of celebrating detachment, instantaneity, transparency and abstraction, Arago understood instruments and human citizens as dynamic mediators which necessarily modify the forces they transmit. His moral economy (...) Download Export citation Bookmark

From Arbiter to Omnivore. The Bourgeois Transcendent Self and the Other in Disorganised Modernity.Tony Kearon - 2012 - Human Studies 35 (3):383-399.details This article will examine the emergence of a distinct bourgeois identity in modernity which differentiated itself from comparable social groups through its desire to exert 'virtuous' control through engagement with reform and philanthropy, and through the symbolic construction of a transgressive, socially marginal but redeemable other as subject of this reform. The ontological insecurities of late modernity had a profound impact on the sources of bourgeois identity, and this article will explore the emergence of the cultural omnivore as a new (...)

Urbanisation: Discourse class gender in mid-Victorian photographs of maids – reading the archive of Arthur J. Munby1.Sarah Edge - 2008 - Critical Discourse Studies 5 (4):303-317.details This article investigates the relationship between discourses held in early photography and the negotiation of new urban class and gender-based identities in the mid-nineteenth century in England. It will do this by examining part of the early photographic archive compiled by Arthur J. Munby. I will examine a previously overlooked part of Munby's photographic archive, the large number of photographs of working-class women who lived or worked in central London taken between 1859 and 1865. The article considers Munby as a (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
