Social Photography As a Representation Form of Global Challenges at the Turn of the XXth–XXIst Centuries

KnE Engineering / Facets of Culture in the Age of Social Transition Proceedings of the All-Russian Research Conference / Pages 164–168

Abstract

The artistic explorations of the late XXth–early XXIst-century mediaculture are, to a large extent, aimed at overcoming stagnant and crisis elements in society, as well as at rethinking the global problem engendered by the increasing levels of alienation and a fear of global transformations. Social photography offers deep and comprehensive critical analysis of the contemporary events. This photographic genre is based on the humanistic approach combined with the individual interpretation of difficult situations. The goal of social photography is to trace the possible solutions for global social problems and to confront cruelty, alienation and violence of our modern world.
