| Summary: | This article proposes to study the social role of women in amateur photography in France at the turn of the twentieth century. The photographic activity of women conveys the antagonism structuring the bourgeois order, separating the public and private spheres. Even as amateurs, however, women did not limit themselves to an intimate use of the medium and integrated public spaces of legitimation such as photographic societies and exhibitions. The serial and quantitative analysis of printed sources (yearbooks, exhibition catalogues and specialised periodicals) allows us to reconsider their position in a field structured by its own social, cultural and geographical dynamics. To oppose a popularised private practice, various strategies of distinction were employed, particularly in pictorialist circles seeking a photographic art. |
