But rarely are these artists considered leaders in discussions about the theory and scholarship of photography or included in conversations about the radical transformations of photography in the digital era. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Matter of Photography in the Americas\u003c\/i\u003e presents the work of more than eighty artists working in Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and Latino communities in the United States who all have played key roles in transforming the medium and critiquing its uses. Artists like Alfredo Jaar, Oscar Mu oz, Ana Mendieta, and Teresa Margolles highlight photography's ability to move beyond the impulse simply to document the world at large. Instead, their work questions the relationship between representation and visibility. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith nearly 200 full-color images, this book brings together drawings, prints, installations, photocopies, and three-dimensional objects in an investigation and critique of the development and artistic function of photography. Essays on key works and artists shed new light on the ways photographs are made and consumed. Pressing at the boundaries of what defines culturally specific, photography-centric artwork, this book looks at how artists from across the Americas work with and through photography as a critical tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNatalia Brizuela\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Spanish and Portuguese and of Film and Media at the University of California, Berkeley. \u003cb\u003eJodi Roberts\u003c\/b\u003e is Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Cantor Arts Center, Stanford University.
