Recenzii
Refracted Visions is a truly brilliant piece of work, beautifully written and characterized by a profound learning and engagement with Indonesian ethnography and a range of debates around visuality and representation. It will be hailed as a classic.--Christopher Pinney, author of The Coming of Photography in India
Refracted Visions is a genuinely marvelous work which merits reading and rereading.--John Pemberton, author of On the Subject of JavaRefracted Visions is a tour de force. Karen Strassler has a sophisticated grasp of contemporary theories of representation in both anthropology and photography studies, a deep and carefully attentive ethnographic eye, and a refined aesthetic sensibility. She limns the boundary between new historicist cultural studies and old fashioned anthropology with uncommon grace.--Rosalind C. Morris, editor of Photographies East: The Camera and Its Histories in East and Southeast Asia
