<br/><br/> Theorists critique photography for 'objectifying' its subjects and manipulating appearance for the sake of art. In this bold counterargument, John Roberts recasts photography's violating powers and aesthetic technique as part of a complex 'social ontology' that exposes the hierarchies, divisions, and exclusions behind appearances.
