Should they be called art? Are they ethical? What are their implications for self, society, and the world? From showing how critics verbalize what they see in images and how they persuade us to see similarly, to dealing with what different photographs might mean, th posits that some interpretations are better than others and explains how to deliberate among competing interpretations.
