Beskrivning
Throughout Germany's tumultuous twentieth century, photography was an indispensable form of documentation. Whether acting as artists, witnesses, or reformers, both professional and amateur photographers chronicled social worlds through successive periods of radical upheaval. The Ethics of Seeing brings together an international group of scholars to explore the complex relationship between the visual and the historic in German history. Emphasizing the transformation of the visual arena and the ways in which ordinary people made sense of world events, these revealing case studies illustrate photography's multilayered role as a new form of representation, a means to subjective experience, and a fresh mode of narrating the past.

Recensioner i media

"...traditionally, photographs have been treated as a kind of secondary or tertiary source with which apprentice historians should engage only after they master the `real' or `more important' meat and potatoes of the historical profession: the traditional archival document....The contributors to The Ethics of Seeing do a tremendous service by challenging this orthodoxy. The issue this volume raises, then, is not only `What can the scholarly methods of history tell us about photographs?' but also `What can photographs tell us about historical method?'" The German Quarterly
