To illuminate these glitches, Greene  focuses on the inevitable distortions that arise from looking at the past through the lens of the present. Treating these distortions as tools as opposed to obstacles, Greene uncovers new ways of viewing social media cultures of the past, while also revealing parallels between historical contexts and our contemporary digital media environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreene uses three “born-digital keywords”—real time, algorithmic filters, and sousveillance—to examine photographic media environments in and around 1930s Europe. Each chapter of the book places one of the keywords in dialogue with an unconventional archive of popular “feminized” cultural artifacts and technological innovations from this historical moment that have been overlooked as critical resources for media studies: Evelyn Waugh’s bestselling novel \u003ci\u003eVile Bodies \u003c\/i\u003e(1930) and photographic reproductions for the tabloid press; Lee Miller’s war photography for \u003ci\u003eBritish Vogue \u003c\/i\u003eand glamourous photo-retouching techniques; and the Mass-Observation Movement’s surrealist anthropology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGlitchy Vision\u003c\/i\u003e provides new strategies for reading history that show how small shifts in the circuits that connect bodies and media affect what it means to be human both in the past and today.False Starts (vii)\u003cbr\u003e1 Glitch: History, Photography, Feminism (1)\u003cbr\u003e2 Real Time: Vile Bodies, Tabloids, Melancholia (29)\u003cbr\u003e3 Algorithmic Filters: Lee Miller, Glamour, Disability (67)\u003cbr\u003e4 Sousveillance: Mass-Observation, Subjective Cameras, Situated Knowledge (115)\u003cbr\u003eLoose Ends (155)\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments (173)\u003cbr\u003eNotes (177)\u003cbr\u003eBibliography (191)\u003cbr\u003eIndex (205)“\u003ci\u003eGlitchy Vision\u003c\/i\u003e is an instructive analysis of the ways social photography can be necessarily broken and remade via a radical feminist lens.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Legacy Russell, Executive Director and Chief Curator, The Kitchen; author of \u003ci\u003eGlitch Feminism: A Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“Tears, scars, cuts; a social media user who wishes she could be ‘wearing a filter right now.’ By placing war and mass photography of the 1930s in dialogue with the present, Greene has created a powerful book about the often-wounded and disabled bodies that exist, vulnerable and ordinary, beneath the seamless vision of new technology.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Tung-Hui Hu, author of \u003ci\u003eDigital Lethargy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eAmanda K.
