  • More about Survey Practices and Landscape Photography Across the Globe


This edited volume explores how landscape is essential to placemaking, colonial settlement, and identity formation, connecting Europe, Africa, the Arab World, Asia, and the Americas through a constellation of interlocking photographic histories and survey practices. It celebrates the messy, cross-cultural reverberations of landscape over the past 170 years and reframes survey practices and the multidimensionality of landscape as an international phenomenon.

Format: Hardback
Length: 314 pages
Publication date: 30 November 2022
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


This edited collection delves into the profound role of landscape, both visible and unseen, in the processes of placemaking, colonial settlement, and identity formation. Through a collective effort, the authors present a comprehensive mapping of interconnected photographic histories and survey practices, challenging the notion that Europe is the sole origin of camera-based surveillance. The volume spans across continents, connecting Europe, Africa, the Arab World, Asia, and the Americas, fostering a dialogue that transcends boundaries. It does not segregate places, histories, and traditions but rather brings them into conversation, establishing solidarity across ever-shifting national, linguistic, racial, religious, and ethnic identities. By rejecting the tidy organization of survey photographs into national or imperial narratives, these essays celebrate the messy, cross-cultural reverberations of landscape over the past 170 years. This anthology explores the visual, social, and historical networks in which these images circulate, connecting the many entangled and political histories of photography to reframe survey practices and perceive landscape as an international phenomenon. This book will appeal to scholars in art history, history of photography, and landscape history, offering valuable insights into the complex interplay between visual representation, power dynamics, and the shaping of human landscapes.
