In 1850 seven South Carolina slaves were photographed at the request of the famous naturalist Louis Agassiz to provide evidence of the supposed biological inferiority of Africans. Lost for many years, the photographs were rediscovered in the attic of Harvard’s Peabody Museum in 1976. In the first narrative history of these images, Molly Rogers tells the story of the photographs, the people they depict, and the men who made and used them. Weaving together the histories of race, science, and photography in nineteenth-century America, Rogers explores the invention and uses of photography, the scientific theories the images were intended to support and how these related to the race politics of the time, the meanings that may have been found in the photographs, and the possible reasons why they were “lost” for a century or more. Each image is accompanied by a brief fictional vignette about the subject’s life as imagined by Rogers; these portraits bring the seven subjects to life, adding a fascinating human dimension to the historical material.

To Make Their Own Way in the World is a profound consideration of some of the most challenging images in the history of photography: fifteen daguerreotypes of Alfred, Delia, Drana, Fassena, Jack, Jem, and Renty—men and women of African descent who were enslaved in South Carolina. Photographed by Joseph T. Zealy for Harvard professor Louis Agassiz in 1850, they were rediscovered at Harvard’s Peabody Museum in 1976. This groundbreaking multidisciplinary volume features essays by prominent scholars who explore such topics as the identities of the people depicted in the daguerreotypes, the close relationship between photography and race, and visual narratives of slavery and its lasting effects. With over two hundred illustrations, including new photography by Carrie Mae Weems, this book frames the Zealy daguerreotypes as works of urgent engagement.

Ab wann kann vom Christentum als von einer Religion, nicht nur einer jüdischen Sekte gesprochen werden? Traditioneller Weise wurden Jesus von Nazareth und Paulus von Tarsus als die Begründer des Christentums angesehen. Neuere Studien kommen zu dem Ergebnis, daß sich die christliche Religion erst viel später, im Verlauf des 2. nachchristlichen Jahrhunderts herausbildete. Giorgio Jossa geht dem Problem aus historischer Perspektive auf den Grund und untersucht nicht nur die Ursprünge des Juden-Christentums, sondern auch der Heiden-Christen. Er zeigt, daß die Entstehung der christlichen Identität wieder auf die Urgemeinde zurückdatiert werden muß.
