In a postdigital media landscape tracked endlessly by streams and feeds of images it is clearer than ever that photography is an art poised between arresting singularity and ambiguous plurality Drawing on work in visual culture studies that emphasizes the interplay between still and moving images In and Out of Sight provides a provocative new account of the relationship between photography and modernist literaturea literature which has long been considered to trace in its formal experimentation the influence of modern visual technologies Making pioneering claims about the importance of photography to the writing of Gertrude Stein Jean Toomer John Dos Passos and F Scott Fitzgerald Alix Beeston traverses the history of photography in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries From the composite experiments of Francis Galton to the epic portrait project of August Sander from the surrealist selffashioning of Claude Cahun to the reappropriation of lynching photographs by black activist groups from the collectable postcards of Broadway stars to the glamour shots of Hollywood celebritiesthese and other serialized photographic projects provide essential contexts for understanding the fragmentary composite forms of literary modernism In a series of richly detailed literary analyses Beeston argues that the gaps and intervals of the composite literary text model the visual syntax of photographyas well as its silences absences and equivocations In them the social and political order of modernity is negotiated and reshaped Moving in and out of these textual openings In and Out of Sight pursues the fleeting visible and invisible figure of the womaninseries who recasts absence and silence as forms of presence and witness This shadowy figure emerges as central to the conceptual space of modernist literaturea terrain not only gendered but radically constructed around the instability of female bodies and their desires
