Susan Sontag’s 1997 text, On Photography, brought photographic theory into the university classroom with its staunch defence of the medium as art and inspired a new wave of Marxist Criticism in the field. Sontag explains the way in which we are addicted to images and depend on them for knowledge of our surroundings and the problems and challenges this causes.
Already an established academic figure, Sontag brought Walter Benjamin’s theories in into the academic mainstream. The book retains its relevance in the everyday world because of the applicability of its ideas to the world of digital photography.

The most biased and manipulated book on Sontag's ideas. Three quarters of it is spent undermining Sontag's reputation, by saying she was not a photographer or by stating fragments of something she said that, honestly, anyone has said many times such as "I believed it was true at the time", actually quoted by the tone in the narrator. Horrible. There is zero analysis and they don't tell you why or what exactly is wrong with her ideas.
