Elaborating new theoretical perspectives on visual cultures, the book addresses the political processes of the photographic image. Srivatsan uses gender, caste and class to serve as frames of reference for this original and stimulating analysis. He takes into consideration a range of visual material: hand-painted cinema hoardings, the modernism of Henri Cartier-Bresson, photographs in police records and the visual politics of advertising and news photography.
