Can Photography’s Diversity in the Age of Digital Reproduction be seen as the medium’s response to its Heritage in the Discourse of the ‘post’ Debate?I intend to research the theoretical understanding of postmodernism, its relationship to photography and investigate if or how far photography may have lost its tradition under the influence of technological improved processes. To understand the concept of postmodernism I investigate the theories as expressed by French philosopher and literacy theorist Jean-Francois Lyotard and French sociologist Jean Baudrillard.Complimentary to the broader perspective of the postmodernist period I also look at theories specific to photography. One being ‘post-photography’, mainly theorized by writer Geoffrey Batchen and the second being ‘late-photography’ as described by critic David Campany.To establish how photography specific theories are settled within the wider concept of postmodernism I am accounting Andy Grundberg’s text The Crises of the Real.
