Published in 1977, Sontag’s seminal work, the winner of a National Book Critics Circle Award, remains uncannily prescient and profoundly incisive to this day. With her searching eye and refusal to buckle to received wisdom, Sontag presents a rousing critique of the functions of imagery―to seduce, to advertise, to evoke, to commemorate, to persuade, to deceive―across six formidable essays. The result is a complex portrait of the contradictory ways we use imagery to manufacture reality and authority, conveyed by her singular depth of analysis, that will endure for decades to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lucky's Books and Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48263132512387,"sku":"9780374622442","price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3795\/6483\/files\/9780374622442.jpg?v=1789777423","url":"https:\/\/luckys.ca\/products\/on-photography-fsg-80th-anniversary-special-edition","provider":"Lucky's Books and Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
