Philosophy of Photography, vol. 7, no. 1-2, Special Issue: Shadow without Object

This double issue, guest edited by Bernd Behr, emerged from the interdisciplinary symposium Shadow without Object originally held at Chelsea College of Arts, London, on 4 December 2015, co-presented by CCW Graduate School and the Photography Department at Camberwell College of Arts. The issue presents an interdisciplinary selection of papers that consider specific instances across histories and contemporary practices of photography, cinematography, architecture, virtual simulation, archaeology and the physical sciences in which the spectre of photographic indexicality is both raised and reflexively negotiated, addressing a renewed interest in the index not as a universalist paradigm but a discursively and materially constructed process that allows a rethinking of the medium’s technical and conceptual operations beyond narrow dichotomies of past/future, analogue/digital and light/matter.
