Photography in Europe was largely guided by the notions of the picturesque, the important, and the beautiful. Americans, less convinced of the permanence of any basic social arrangements, experts on the “reality” of change, have more often made photography partisan. Pictures were taken not only to show what should be admired but to reveal what needs to be confronted and fixed up. American photography implies a less stable relation with history; and a relation to social reality that is both more hopeful and more predatory.

The hopeful side is exemplified in the use of photographs in America to awaken conscience. Lewis W. Hine was appointed staff photographer to the National Child Labor Committee, which was preparing to recommend legislation; his photographs of children working in mills in the 1910s helped make child labor illegal. In the case of Roy Stryker’s Farm Security Administration project, the camera was a way of “learning” about the rural poor, so the New Deal bureaucrats could figure out how to help them. But even at its most moralistic, documentary photography was always imperious in another sense. Both detached traveler’s report and the more forthright angry muckraking reflect the urge to appropriate an exotic reality. And no reality is allowed the right to resist appropriation, whether it is scandalous or beautiful or picturesque.

The predatory side of photography is at the heart of the alliance between photography and tourism. The case of the American Indians is the most brutal. Discreet, serious amateurs had been operating since the end of the Civil War; the opening wedge of an army of tourists eager for “a goal shot” of Indian life. The tourists invaded the Indians’ privacy, photographing sacred dances and places, paying the Indians to pose, and making them so self-conscious that they revised their ceremonies.

But native ceremonies that are changed by the tourists are not so different from a city scandal that is corrected because someone photographs it. In so far as the muckrakers got results, they too altered what they photographed; indeed, photographing reality was one way of altering it.

主题:照片的作用
结构:总起照片在US两个方面作用反映社会的hopeful&predatory→hopeful一面→predatory一面→拍照能改变社会问题
主要内容
P1
欧洲照片遵循picturesque、important、beautiful。美国用来show what to admire&what needs to be fixed up。反映了hopeful&predatory的社会现实。
P2
典型的hopeful是awaken conscience。eg1:拍mill干活的小孩→反对童工。eg2:拍rural poor→改善农村生存环境。
BUT,imperious。不允许resist appropriation。
P3
predatory体现在照片和tourism的关系上。eg,American indians。很多入侵AI后,有对裸露的dance、palces进行拍照,侮辱它们。
P4
而这些丑闻被报道后也会有相关措施来进行改善。photography确实能够改善现存问题。
picturesque风景优美的  imperious傲慢的  forthright直率的  detached不带感情的;客观的  scandalous可耻的;令人愤慨的   brutal野蛮的;直截了当的  muckrake揭发丑闻

Main idea: the photography in American---reveal and altered the reality

P1:  Unlike Europe photography (picturesque, beautiful), American photography (reveal what needs to be confronted and fixed up) implies relation wih history social reality in Hopeful and Predatory.

P2: Hopeful----awaken conscience: e.g 1. force to legislation: illegal of child labor; 2. learning and help the rural poor  (最后两句没太看懂想表达啥)

P3: Predatory----Tourism: e.g: American Indians case, invade natives privacy by photography, making them self-conscious and revised ceremonies

P4: But 转折 native ceremonies changed is same with the scandal was corrected.
Opinion: photographing reality was one way of altering reality.
