Burgin, Victor. In/Different Spaces: Place and Memory in Visual Culture.
University of California Press, 1996. 0520202996 / 9780520202993 Paperback New Paperback
Clean, tight book. In/Different Spaces explores the construction of identities in the psychical space between perception and consciousness, drawing upon psychoanalytic theories to describe the constitution and maintenance of "self" and "us"--in imaginary spatial and temporal relations to "other" and "them"--through the all-important relay of images. For Burgin, the image is never a transparent representation of the world but rather a principal player on the stage of history. Through deft analyses of a photograph by Helmut Newton, Parisian cityscapes, the space of the department store, a film by Ousmane Sembˇne, and the writings of Henri Lefebvre, Andr¸ Breton, and Roland Barthes, Burgin develops an incisive theory of our culture of images and spectacle. 329pp.
