- The book provides an edited selection of essays developed from presentations delivered at the conference for FORMAT19 International Photography Festival, 15th March 2019, organised and delivered by the editors, and hosted by the Digital and Material Artistic Research Centre at the University of Derby. The overall vision, research direction and focus, form and structure of the conference and book were developed, managed, and realised by
the editors. The research offers a varied analysis of the developments, synergies, complexities and opportunities within the field of photography in response to socio political, -economic and -cultural identities and positions. The diverse range of essays selected for the publication includes those authored by experienced and emerging researchers, photographic artists, and curators. Themes include ethnicity, gender, materiality, the archive, memory, age, national identity, and technologies, with some discussing creative responses to the UK’s departure from the European Union. The book features a collaborative introduction and both editors contribute an individual essay. It followed a rigorous blind peer-review process.
The book includes contributions by academics from the University of Derby:
• Huw Davies presents an historical account of the impact of FORMAT and the University’s engagement and support since its inception.
• Marc Bosward provides a critical examination of digital montage to visually negotiate issues of politics and history.
• Gemma Marmalade (ed.) presents her performed intervention on the delivery of her paper for the project Green Fingered.
• Philip Harris (ed.) presents a philosophical examination of obsolete media and its potential to examine issues of politics and social agendas.
Conference keynote, Martin Barnes, Senior Curator of Photographs, Victoria and Albert Museum, presents a research response to the curation of his exhibition, White Heart of British industry 1950–1960s: Photographs by Maurice Broomfield. Harris’ research within the book is supported by other activity including exhibitions and screenings.
