shaking up the shelves of history : a visual essay on media archives from the recent political past of Greece
1 volume (unpaged) : illustrations (some color) ; 28 cm.
This book is a visual essay based on a series of previously unpublished images from Greek (media) archives collected by visual artist Stefanos Tsivopoulos. The book explores the mechanisms of visual culture in a mediatized democracy, and their effect on the production of collective memory. Tsivopoulos' multi-layered visual essay, which builds the main body of this book, not only reveals the patterns, idiosyncrasies, textures and tactility of these images but ultimately inquires the extent to which photographic, archival documents provide us with knowledge. The book's fascinating image material is of a diverse nature and is intrinsically linked to a broader European and global context such as the Cold War, Greek-American relationships, and more recent crisis. Essays from authors provide academic reflection and link these historical images to a broader contemporary context.
