    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Beckett; phenomenology; aesthetics; movements; perception; English; engelska;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to explore how American staged art photographers in the 1970s problematized a traditional, visualist approach to the photograph as mediator or interface between human subject and reality, which had been present in the straight photography that had dominated American art photography from the early decades of the twentieth century. Instead of viewing the camera as an objective, optical device and photographs as mechanically reproducible artistic products, the proponents of the new "staged photography" seized the possibilities of conveying holistic life experiences by employing a full range of sensory impressions.
