Abstract
The Figure in the Landscape is an archaeology of modernity’s manuals of photography and the images produced by the photographers who read them. These texts demonstrate the formation of a subject and a system for the arrangement of knowledges particular to modernity. They reveal a subject who works to produce self and "landscape" by the manipulation of a cross-reference system. Photography is this system. The thesis argues that photography creates a space in which self and world are continually reproduced in a dynamic which actuates criticism and change.
