Photography and Ontology is written by Donna West Brett and published by Routledge. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1351187732 (ISBN 10) and 9781351187732 (ISBN 13).

This edited collection explores the complex ways in which photography is used and interpreted: as a record of evidence, as a form of communication, as a means of social and political provocation, as a mode of surveillance, as a narrative of the self, and as an art form. What makes photographic images unsettling and how do the re-uses and interpretations of photographic images unsettle the self-evident reality of the visual field? Taking up these themes, this book examines the role of photography as a revelatory medium underscored by its complex association with history, memory, experience and identity.
