这篇论文是对照片社会使用的批判性跨文化研究领域的一个贡献。它探索了照片的本质，作为制作和讲述历史的关系对象。它认为，在澳大利亚和其他地方的土著和跨文化历史背景下，照片具有一种关系性质，占据了人与人之间、人与物之间的空间。
This paper is a contribution to the growing field of critical cross-cultural studies in the social use of photographs. It explores the nature of photographs as relational objects in the making and telling of histories. It argues that, in the contexts of indigenous and cross-cultural histories in Australia and elsewhere, photographs have a relational quality, occupying the spaces between people and people, and people and things.
Building on previous research on the materiality of photographs (‘Photographs Objects Histories: On the Materiality of Images’ Edwards and Hart 2004) Edwards argues that photographs are socially salient “things” which are engaged with as tactile, sensory objects that are integral to cultural experience. In this paper, photographs are not simply images or even ‘visual history; but oral history, linked to sound, gesture and social relationships. The exploration of these issues through Aboriginal histories, with their differently constituted modes of transmission, throws these issues into sharp relief purposefully, complicating western notions of indexically defined ‘photographic truth’.
As such the paper is a contribution to the developing interest in the anthropology of the senses in relation to images as corporeally experienced. It rethinks the term ‘vision’ in relation to other modalities. Thus it extends thinking on the blurred boundaries of visuality and orality in the telling of and making history.
