Abstract | Scholars have long engaged with interdisciplinarity within the Humanities, which is traced historiographically through developments with the traditional disciplines of Anthropology, Art History, History, Musicology, Linguistics, Literature and Sociology. A shift came over the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries from documenting political histories to rewriting the histories of everyday life through a socio-political lens. New social histories gained increasing momentum after World War II, but photographers had also been contributing to such critique after Joseph Nicéphore Niépce (1765-1833) paved the way for the invention of the camera through heliography in 1816, producing images from everyday life. The new discipline of Photography with a specialisation in photomedia entered universities and other higher-education institutions from the 1990s. This article introduces readers to Jo-Anne Duggan’s theorisation of the “viewing experience” as well as four academic contributions inspired by Duggan’s art practice and scholarship in this special edited collection. |
