In Iran, the history of photography and cinematography is mired with doubts and ambiguities. Whilst academic debates have focused on Qajar photography and cinematography from the viewpoint of historical analyses and technical aspects, there does not appear to be any anthropological, and particularly, visual anthropological research on these two important visual mediums. This book presents first results using visual anthropology, ethnographical film, media and visual studies as a methodological framework .ContentsForewordPhotographic documentation of Tazieh and Taqlid during the Qajar eraAli GholipoorThe disfigured and the abnormal captured by the lens of Qajar era photographersAlireza NabipoorPhotography and recognizing historical changes of the Qajar era: a new historical viewAli Mohammad TarafdariComparative analysis of Iranian and foreign photographers’ representations of the Qajar eraAbbas AmiriBack in the picture: early film techniques used to capture the Qajar eraAlex FischerPortraiture in Qajar Iran and the Ottoman Empire: a comparative approachBasak KilerciTracking a modern visual element through two similar conditions of chaosSiamak HajimohammadBibliographyIndexVoir sur le site de l'éditeur
