At the Edge of Sight

Photography and the Unseen

By: Shawn Michelle Smith

The advent of photography revolutionized perception, making visible what was once impossible to see with the human eye. In At the Edge of Sight, Shawn Michelle Smith engages these dynamics of seeing and not seeing, focusing attention as much on absence as presence, on the invisible as the visible. Exploring the limits of photography and vision, she asks: What fails to register photographically, and what remains beyond the frame? What is hidden by design, and what is obscured by cultural blindness? Smith studies manifestations of photography's brush with the unseen in her own photographic work and across the wide-ranging images of early American photographers, including F. Holland Day, Eadweard Muybridge, Andrew J. Russell, Chansonetta Stanley Emmons, and Augustus Washington. She concludes by showing how concerns raised in the nineteenth century remain pertinent today in the photographs of Abu Ghraib. Ultimately, Smith explores the capacity of photography to reveal what remains beyond the edge of sight.

By: Shawn Blau Ph. D.,Greg Giaquinto M. P. a.

People yearn for relationships. And in the Internet age, people will flock in droves to Social Media websites, like Facebook, in the hopes of meeting a potential new friend, spouse, etc. Meeting people on Social Media platforms are quick and effortless. However, what is the strength of these Social Media friendships? Are they stronger or weaker than friendships people make the traditional way - meeting people face to face and interacting with them in the same physical proximity?Author's Shawn Blau, Ph.D. and Greg Giaquinto, M.P.A. attempt to answer this question in "Social Media: A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Internet Friendships." Their approach is a fundamental cost-benefit analysis of making friends via Social Media friendships versus the making friends by meeting people face to face and interacting with them. A timely read, "Social Media: A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Internet Friendships" provides insights into human behavior and compares the pros and cons of Social Media friendships versus traditional friendships.

By: Shawn Blau Ph. D.,Greg Giaquinto M. P. a.

It's not your Daddy's world. We live in the Social Media age. And with the Social Media age, one can make and maintain friendships using much less time and effort than your Daddy did in his world. In "Social Media: Price, Supply, and Demand in Digital Communities," authors Shawn Blau, Ph.D. and Greg Giaquinto, M.P.A., discuss the price, supply, and demand of making and maintaining friends the traditional way - for example, meeting people at a bar and having face to face conversations with those people - versus making and maintaining friends in the Social Media age via joining Social Media platforms, like Facebook, and communicating with newly made friends by messaging one another.A must read, this analysis makes people contemplate the differences, pros, and cons of making and sustaining relationships in the Social Media age versus the traditional way of creating and sustaining friendships.
