We invite international submissions to be included in this forthcoming book, to be published by MuseumsEtc [www.museumsetc.com] in 2013. The full Call for Papers may be downloaded here: http://bit.ly/ReflexivePhoto SUBMISSIONS Proposals are welcomed from writers, academics, photographers, curators, artists and other visual practitioners. This book will bring together the varied ways in which reflexivity manifests itself within photography and the photograph. In this instance we are taking a broad approach to the term (as evidenced in the suggestions below), where “reflexivity” is used to describe: * The methods and dialogues that practitioners use to interrogate their own work * The manner in which these devices enable the photographer to engage in an exchange with the work of others and with the world around them We are seeking chapters that deal with a wide range of issues in relation to the principle of the reflexive photographer. This could encompass - but is not limited to - conceptual, cultural, historical and visual concerns relating to: * The historical perspectives of reflexivity * The photographer making visual work that is reflexive * The photographer writing about and reflecting on their own work * The use or affect that the materials of photography (the lens, the camera, etc.) have on reflexivity * The photographer using notebooks and sketchbooks (or equivalent) as a reflexive tool * The use or affect that different types of editing have on reflexivity * The photographer writing about the work of others as a reflexive tool * The analysis of seminal texts from key photographers * The interview as a means to reveal reflexivity * The examination of reflexivity where more than one practitioner is at work * The use of the photograph as a form of life writing * The use of reflexivity in the context of photography in the digital sphere Additionally, we are interested in examining different formats for reflexivity: * The book * Correspondence * The manifesto * The blog * The diary * The travelogue * The exhibition * Exhibition commentary, interpretation and/or the exhibition catalogue * The photo collective or group This list is not exhaustive and we welcome proposals on other themes.
