Imagined Community and Networked Hyperlocal Publics

What is the place of both immediate and mediated information in forming publics and sustaining communities? And what can past communication practices teach us in our digitally hyperconnected age? With reference to the work of philosophers, sociologists and theorists including Hannah Arendt, Jurgen Habermas, Keith Hampton and Barry Wellman, cultural researcher John Bingham-Hall reflects on the nature of place, and highlights the phatic properties of online platforms such as Southeast London's Brockley Central blog that seek to reinforce local identity.

Elizabeth Buehrmann: American pictorialist

Abstract

It has been estimated that by 1900 more than 3500 American women worked as professional photographers,¹ and by ‘1911 there were 1600 American women managing their own portrait studios’.² One early twentieth-century photographer who deserves greater recognition is Elizabeth (‘Bessie’) Buehrmann (c. 1886-c. 1963).³ Although she stated that she came from the South,⁴ the exact date and place of her birth is unknown. Chicago, however, is the city where she spent her teens, and it was there that she developed and studied. When she was just a girl of 20, numerous articles marvelling at her talent and youth, and illustrated with her photographs, appeared in Chicago newspapers.⁵ She had already established, by that tender age, a reputation as a gifted artistic or pictorialist photographer who specialized in portraiture.⁶
