Dear All,<br>
<br>
I have the pleasure to announce the publication of an edited
collection titled <i>Photomediations: A Reader</i> that gathers 20
scholarly and curatorial texts on the relationship between
photography and other media. The book is available on an open
access basis - i.e. it's free to download in a pdf format. You can
also buy a paper copy.<br>
<br>
We're holding a symposium to celebrate the launch of the book and to
discuss photography in a dynamic framework of photomediations on the
19th February 2016 at Goldsmiths. Please come and join us. And
please download the book! <br>
<br>
Best,<br>

Come and join us for a half-day symposium exploring the relationship

<br>
The concept of photomediations brings together the hybrid ontology
of ‘light-based media’ and the fluid dynamism of ‘mediation’. The
papers presented in the symposium will challenge the traditional
classification of photography as suspended between art and social
practice in order to capture the dynamism of the photographic medium
today. They will also explore photography’s kinship with other media
– and with us, humans, <i>as media</i>.<br>
