Radical social historian Theodore Zeldin reflects
on the ways many photographs in Cruel
and Tender can be seen to comment on work-related issues
such as self-esteem, pay, discrimination and social recognition. Theodore
Zeldin is a fellow and former dean of St. Anthony's College, Oxford
and is now President of the Oxford Muse. His innovative books, including
An Intimate History of Humanity, Happiness, The
French and Conversation, offer a provocative perspective on human
history and relationships focusing on the evolution of feelings and
personal relationships. In his present research project on the Future
of Work he is investigating a wide range of occupations to see
how they could become less narrow and frustrating.
The Camera at Work series explores historical,
sociological and aesthetic issues related to the photographic representation
of work. It coincides with Tate Modern’s major exhibition
Cruel and Tender: The Real in the Twentieth-Century Photograph.
