What does
this second passage in the convolute have to do with photography, which is
nowhere mentioned? It shows the context within which the artisanal operates,
the way it is infiltrated and comingled with planning, capital, mechanization.
The passage starts by showing exactly the same collaboration, the essential
sameness of or dialectic between the forces that represent photography and
those that represent, like painting, artisanal activity. As in Y1,1, there is a
distancing or making fun of the "big industrialists and moneymen," or
a differentiation in place, but there is an absolute merger, at the level of
the "secret," or in fact the "genius," of what that
capitalistic process is.
