Book Description
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.

Book Description
Through more than seventy works by nineteen artists, the volume describes some of the most interesting research conducted in the field of photography in North- West Europe in recent decades. Using different languages, from the landscape to the portrait, from staged photography to the snapshot, by way of reportage and installations, the artists selected explore some of the most urgent topics that reality brings to our attention, and investigate issues linked to the history of the medium and the nature of contemporary images. The same richness also connotes the group of artists who are emerging on the international scene, and who are placed alongside some of the most famous names in photography.

Book Description
A fifth procedural featuring Inspector Devlin, as well as the stark realities of recent Irish history You can't investigate the baby, Inspector. It's the law. Declan Cleary's body has never been found, but everyone believes he was killed for informing on a friend more than 30 years ago. Now the Commission for Location of Victims' Remains is following a tip-off that he was buried on the small isle of Islandmore, in the middle of the River Foyle. Instead, the dig uncovers a baby's skeleton, and it doesn't look like death by natural causes. But evidence revealed by the commission's activities cannot lead to prosecution. Inspector Devlin is torn. He has no desire to resurrect the violent divisions of the recent past, but neither can he let a suspected murderer go unpunished. Now that the secret is out, more deaths follow. Devlin must follow his conscience—even when that puts those closest to him at terrible risk.

Author: Shearer West Publisher: OUP Oxford ISBN: 0191518034 Category : Art Languages : en Pages : 256
Book Description
This fascinating new book explores the world of portraiture from a number of vantage points, and asks key questions about its nature. How has portraiture changed over the centuries? How have portraits represented their subjects, and how have they been interpreted? Issues of identity, modernity, and gender are considered within a cultural and historical context. Shearer West uncovers much intriguing detail about a genre that has often been seen as purely representational, featuring examples from African tribes to Renaissance princes, and from 'stars' such as David and Victoria Beckham to ordinary people. In the process, she shows us how to communicate with the past in an exciting new way.
