Summary: Documentary photography aims to capture the material reality of life. In Rhetorical Exposures, Christopher Carter demonstrates how the creation and display of documentary photographs- often now called " imagetexts"--Both invite analysis and raise persistent questions about the political and social causes for the bleak scenes of poverty and distress captured on film. Carter' s carefully reasoned monograph examines both formal qualities of composition and the historical contexts of the production and display of documentary photographs. In Rhetorical Exposures, Carter explores Jacob Riis' s hear.
