Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sir Benjamin Stone, Member of Parliament for the Birmingham constituency, was a keen 'amateur' photographer, with a passion for, as he put it, 'unfaked' photographs. In 1897 he was a prime mover behind the National Photographic Record Association, which aimed to gather together an archive of photographs documenting every facet of contemporary British life, printed as carbon prints or platinotypes for permanence. As well as being its primary motivator, activist and publicist, Stone was also the association's most prolific photographer. In 1906, only four years before the association was disbanded owing to its members' apathy, Stone published an example of the king of thing he wanted to achieve with the group: two volumes of his own work, the first on British customs, the second on the Houses of Parliament. ... These two volumes mark the end of the nineteenth-century documentary photobook in Britain--documentary photography in the typological mode. Stone's Festivals, Ceremonies and Customs reflects back on half a century of documentary practice that was never quite carried forward into the next century."--The Photobook : A History Volume I / Martin Parr and Gerry Badger. London: Phaidon, 2004.

Book Synopsis Folklore and Nation in Britain and Ireland by : Matthew Cheeseman
Download or read book Folklore and Nation in Britain and Ireland written by Matthew Cheeseman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection explores folklore and folkloristics within the diverse and contested national discourses of Britain and Ireland, examining their role in shaping the islands’ constituent nations from the eighteenth century to our contemporary moment of uncertainty and change. This book is concerned with understanding folklore, particularly through its intersections with the narratives of nation entwined within art, literature, disciplinary practice and lived experience. By following these ideas throughout history into the twenty-first century, the authors show how notions of the folk have inspired and informed varied points from the Brothers Grimm to Brexit. They also examine how folklore has been adapting to the real and imagined changes of recent political events, acquiring newfound global and local rhetorical power. This collection asks why, when and how folklore has been deployed, enacted and considered in the context of national ideologies and ideas of nationhood in Britain and Ireland. Editors Cheeseman and Hart have crafted a thoughtful and timely collection, ideal for students and scholars of folklore, history, literature, anthropology, sociology and media studies.
