Photography In/Between Media Formats: The Work of Format from Magazines to Books, from Horst. P. Horst to Henri Cartier-Bresson
This paper deals with photography in illustrated magazines and photobooks, and with what unfolds when photographs migrate from one media to the other.

Cet article se penche sur la photographie telle qu’elle circule au sein de la culture imprimée, depuis la presse magazine jusqu’aux photobooks. Plus précisément, il s’intéresse aux transferts photographiques entre les magazines et les ouvrages monographiques. De telles republications offrent des configurations uniques, au sein desquelles se déploient des interprétations singulières de ce que le format permet. Dans le même temps, ces cas particuliers manifestent les conventions liées au format propres à chaque médium et qui le sous-tendent. L’analyse de deux photographies publiées successivement dans des magazines puis dans des livres monographiques met en évidence la manière dont le format conditionne les présentations successives de images considérées ; c’est-à-dire que ces deux études de cas montrent le format à l’œuvre. Ces transferts mobilisent des processus d’auctorialité, de réappropriation, ainsi que des mécanismes de mémorialisation et/ou de canonisation – tous enjeux qui contribuent à façonner le champ photographique, ainsi que les magazines et les livres comme sites médiatiques distincts mais associés. En effet, la hiérarchie culturelle qui s’établit entre magazines et photobooks – les photographies s’élevant en passant des premiers aux seconds – fonctionne finalement au bénéfice de l’un comme de l’autre médium, qui y assoient leur identité respective. |

This paper deals with photography in illustrated magazines and photobooks, and with what unfolds when photographs migrate from one media to the other. In such instances, we argue, reformatting is performed in distinctive affordances; yet such transfers also make visible the format conditions that underlie both the magazine and book media. By conducting an in-depth analysis of two exemplary photographs, by Horst P. Horst and Henri Cartier-Bresson, circulating between magazines and books, we aim to show how format markedly shapes photography in print and thus to demonstrate the work of format. In the process, matters of authoring and re-appropriating, as well as mechanisms of canonization and/or memorialization are brought to light. All contribute to structure and solidify the photographic field, as well as periodicals and books as media, in relationship to one another (and to their mediatic content). The established hierarchy of formats, in which photographs move up from magazines to books, in fact proved beneficial to both, bolstering the distinction – and thus the identity – of the media book and periodical. |
