Collaboration : A Potential History of Photography
A new, revolutionary history of photography from a stellar team of writers and thinkers that challenges all existing narratives by focusing on the complex collaborations between photographer and subject. Collaboration presents a groundbreaking and multifaceted history of photography which explores photography through the lens of collaboration, challenging the dominant narratives around photographic history and authorship.In a vast, collaborative effort led by five of the great thinkers and practitioners in photography that includes more than 550 photographs and over 80 text contributors, this book breaks apart photography’s ‘single creator’ tradition by bringing to light tangible traces of collaboration – the various relationships, exchanges and interactions which occur between all participants in the event of photography. This book will provide the keys to understanding and decoding the complex politics of seeing.The conditions of collaboration in photography are explored through over 100 photography projects, divided into eight thematic chapters.The photographs from each project are presented non-hierarchically alongside quotes, testimonies, and short texts by guest contributors.These networks of texts and images provide perspective on a vast array of photographic themes, from Araki’s provocative portraits of women to archival files from the Spanish Civil War. Collaboration is not an ultimate account of what photography is, does, or means.Rather, the book is an inspiration for teaching and an open invitation to scholars, activists, photographers and others to practice always with and alongside others and participate actively in this engagement and enquiry.

Football In The Community : A Modern History
THE FOOTBALL IN THE COMMUNITY SCHEME arrived at a pivotal time in the history of the national game.Battered by numerous tragedies, and with the Thatcher government of the 1980s seemingly prepared for the sport to wither on the vine, the PFA sought to buck the trend by getting professional players to spend a few hours a week on community work. The initial pilot area was the football hotbed of the North-West comprising Manchester and Lancashire and such was the success of the scheme that within a few years it had extended to every professional club in the Football League. The aim of the scheme was to take football into areas where traditional social work wasnt working, using football as a way of improving the quality of life of children, the disabled, teenagers, ex-offenders and the unemployed, in a way that had never been tried before.FITC also tackled social issues such as racism, homophobia and gender through the medium of the beautiful game.Now, 35 years later, The Football In The Community scheme is a well-established at the heart of the national game and over the course of its history has played no small part in taking football from a sport regarded by the media as permanently associated with hooliganism and violence to its current status as a national obsession which openly welcomes families and people of all races into stadia and brings in billions to the economy every year.

Universe or history?
Both the universe and history are fascinating subjects, but if I had to choose, I would pick the universe. The universe encompasses everything that exists, from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies, and studying it can lead to a deeper understanding of our place in the cosmos. History is also important for understanding the past and how it has shaped the present, but the mysteries of the universe and the potential for new discoveries make it a more compelling topic for me.
