title = {Disrupting the Metanarrative: A Little History of Image Indexing and Retrieval},
year = {2019},
note = {The aims of this paper are twofold: to offer a short history of image
retrieval, and secondly and relatedly, to critique the metanarrative
of modernity emerging in the literature of knowledge organization and
information retrieval. The paper reviews the emerging grand narrative
in relation to knowledge organization and information retrieval that
sees them as specific aspects of modernity and technological
efficiency. This grand narrative is particularly interested in
technology even when it is contextualising technology. A more nuanced
history emerges when the focus moves to the representation,
organization, and retrieval of images. This literature foregrounds not
only the technology but also issues relating to definitions of the
“subject” and issues relating to interpretation and
meaning-making.},
