In an era of social confusion and visual pandemonium, David Levi Strauss tackles issues of photography and politics in a way that few critics today are courageous enough to attempt. The essays collected in "Between the Eyes" address topics ranging from propaganda and the imagery of dreams, to Sebastião Salgado's epic social documents and the…. From its earliest aspects, the representation of reality has been one of the attributes of power: a quarry animal painted on a cave wall, the figure of a deity fashioned in stone, the mask of a tribe's totemic beast are all aspects of power and control. Increasingly complex forms of representation called for ever more specialised skills - skills which in turn required long, expensive training.

Although art is commodified and contemporary society attempts to anaesthetise politics, reproductive art can regenerate political debate. The techniques of film, photography and music are available to everyone and enable people to hold and examine aspects of life to explore meaning and interpretations..

Photography and Political Aesthetics identifies photography as politically productive when positioned within political movements, and champions practices that perform, investigate, or give attention to presentation and public dissemination.
