PAPERS:<BR><BR>CAA 2007 Annual Meeting, New York City, 14-17 February
2007<BR><BR>Photography in and about the Middle East</STRONG><BR><BR>This
session will examine photographic imagery of the Middle East--its peoples,
cultures, geography, and history--from the nineteenth century to the
present. Papers are invited that offer insight, both pragmatic and
theoretical, into such issues as: the means and motives of both indigenous and
Western photographers in the region; receptions and transformations of
photographic imagery as filtered through reproductive technology and printed
forms (ranging from photo printing and postcards to journal and book
illustrations); the varieties of photographic formats (typological, archival,
and scientific) and their various claims to veracity; and the desire in
contemporary art and photography to reuse, question, and move beyond earlier
imagery. We aim to explore the past and present of photographic representation
of the Middle East, its visual culture, and its ties to the larger
world.<BR><BR>Send proposals to:<BR><BR>Frederick N. Bohrer, Hood
