Handsomely illustrated and grand in scale, this book features images by American photographer William Wylie (b. 1957) taken over the course of five years. The photographs reanimate the ancient city of Pompeii, showing the ongoing cycles of deterioration and preservation that mark it as a living landscape. Wylie captures Pompeii's former grandeur, including its terracotta reliefs and wall paintings, while also drawing attention to the signs of an active excavation site, from plaster casts in glass cases to ceramic fragments in storage facilities. His elegant compositions and command of light and shadow highlight how natural phenomena, pollution, and human intervention are continually reshaping the city. People, however, are notably absent in the photographs. Wylie beautifully documents Pompeii's present by engaging with the tenuous relationship that the archaeological site maintains with the past. Exhibition: Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, USA (Spring-Summer 2018).

Die Fotografie ist im 20. Jahrhundert zum zentralen Medium der Vermittlung von Vergangenheit avanciert. In Literatur und Theorie figuriert sie auf den ersten Blick oft das Andere des Textes. Doch geht es dabei zugleich um den Text als Gedächtnismedium: In der Fotografie findet die Literatur das, was ihrem Gedächtnis entgeht. In detaillierten Lektüren klassischer Texte zur Fotografie (Barthes, Benjamin, Kracauer sowie Proust und Brecht) und anhand der problematischen Erinnerung nach Auschwitz bei Jorge Semprun, Georges Perec, Hubert Fichte und Christa Wolf zeigt Jan Gerstner, dass eine Theorie des Gedächtnisses ohne eine intermediale Perspektive nicht auskommen kann. »Ein hohes Lob verdienen die immanenten theoretischen Erkenntnisse über das andere Gedächtnis.« Wolfgang Schlott, MEDIENwissenschaft, 4 (2013) Besprochen in: GERMANISTIK, 55/1-2 (2014) literaturkritik.de, 4 (2015), Walter Delabar

"Powerful and often controversial, news pictures promise to make the world at once immediate and knowable. Yet while many great writers and thinkers have evaluated photographs of atrocity and crisis, few have sought to set these images in a broader context by defining the rich and diverse history of news pictures in their many forms.For the first time, this volume defines what counts as a news picture, how pictures are selected and distributed, where they are seen and how we critique and value them. Presenting the best new thinking on this fascinating topic, this book considers the news picture over time, from the dawn of the illustrated press in the nineteenth century, through photojournalism's heyday and the rise of broadcast news and newsreels in the twentieth century and into today's digital platforms. It examines the many kinds of images: sport, fashion, society, celebrity, war, catastrophe and exoticism; and many mediums, including photography, painting, wood engraving, film and video. Packed with the best research and full colour-illustrations throughout, this book will appeal to students and readers interested in how news and history are key sources of our rich visual culture"--

Photographer Marcia Resnick (b. 1950) earned recognition as part of the legendary Downtown New York art scene of the 1970s and 1980s. Her portraits of the era's major cultural figures, such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, John Belushi, and Susan Sontag, have contributed to the scene's mythic status. Against this backdrop, Resnick also produced a significant body of work that engaged with the history of art, took a humorous approach to conceptual art and feminism, and proposed new ideas for what photography could be. Spanning the artist's career, this richly illustrated volume explores Resnick's early influences and education at Cooper Union and CalArts; discusses her series and photobooks such as See and Re-visions; and situates the artist's work within the history of contemporary art. An afterword by Laurie Anderson speaks to the very personal vision of Resnick's photography.

Die Photographie hat in der modernen Erinnerungskultur eine entscheidende Rolle gespielt. Wie hat sich die Autobiographie mit dem Aufkommen dieses technischen Gedächtnismediums verändert? Aus literatur- und medienwissenschaftlicher Perspektive beschäftigt sich Kentaro Kawashima exemplarisch mit autobiographischen Texten von fünf Schriftstellern, die sich mit Blick auf die Photographie umorganisiert haben. Die Analyse dieser nach 1900 entstandenen Schriften stößt immer wieder auf die Kategorien der Zerstreuung und Wiederholung - in dem Maß, wie die Photographie in der modernen Gesellschaft als Identitätsmaschine fungiert hat. »Überzeugende Analyse.« Jürgen Nielsen-Sikora, Das Historisch-Politische Buch, 60/1 (2012) Besprochen in: Camera Austria, 118 (2012), Gislind Nabakowski GERMANISTIK, 52/3-4 (2012)
