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.Studies in German history ;Volume 21.PhotographyGermanyHistory20th centuryPhotographySocial aspectsGermanyHistory20th centuryPhotographyMoral and ethical aspectsGermanyHistory20th centuryPhotography in historiographyGermanyHistory20th centuryactivist.aesthetics.amateur.america.art.berlin.censorship.community.concentration camps.culture.democracy.diary.documentary.ethics.ethnic.european history.everyday.exhibition.german studies.germany.government.historian.holocaust.jennifer evans.military.nazi.paul betts.photography.political.portrait.professional.representation.revolution.scholarly.socialist.society.stefan ludwig hoffmann.visual.wartime.PhotographyHistoryPhotographySocial aspectsHistoryPhotographyMoral and ethical aspectsHistoryPhotography in historiography.770.0943AP 99010SEPArvkEvans Jennifer V.1970-Betts Paul1963-Hoffmann Stefan-LudwigMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796393203321The ethics of seeing3741261UNINA
