Sažetak
Emerald’s Arts for Health collection,
in which Susan Hogan’s Photography
is situated, stands at the forefront of interdisciplinary work linking the arts,
health, and social care. Bringing together
scholars, clinicians, and artists, the series demonstrates how creative engagement functions as a form of nonclinical
support “a kind of shadow health service” (Crawford, 2022, p. xii) that sustains wellbeing and fosters social connection. Each concise volume, written
for professionals and general readers
alike, translates insights from the health
humanities into accessible guidance on
how artistic practices can enhance both
mental and physical health. Including
titles such as Body Art, Magic, History,
Painting, Film, Singing, Video, Music,
and Creative Writing, among others, the
series redefines creativity as a cornerstone of what Paul Crawford calls creative
public health: “a fantastic, non-medical,
but medically relevant way to improve
the health and wellbeing of individuals,
families and communities” (Crawford,
2022, p. xii).
Within this wider framework, Susan
Hogan’s Photography extends the series’ vision with remarkable depth and
clarity. Continuing her long-standing
effort to make art-therapy and visualculture scholarship accessible without
diluting their intellectual or political
complexity, Hogan offers a work that
is both comprehensive and engaging.
Photography is ambitious in scope: it
functions simultaneously as a sweeping
history of the medium, a conceptual
mapping of its theoretical foundations.
