Book Synopsis Pre-State Photographic Archives and the Zionist Movement by : Rotem Rozental
Download or read book Pre-State Photographic Archives and the Zionist Movement written by Rotem Rozental and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-24 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By entering and critically re-activating the Zionist photographic archive established by the Division of Journalism and Propaganda of the Jewish National Fund, this research examines its rippling impact on civil landscapes prior to 1948 in Palestine, and its lasting impact on the region to date. This study argues that the Zionist movement makes particular use of the machinery of the photographic archive, aiming to constitute the boundaries of Palestine as a Jewish state, claiming ownership over the land and announcing internationally the success of its enterprise, thus substantiating the image it sought to embed as the “reality” of the land. This archive was not stand-alone, as it was functioning in relation to a vast, complicated network of organizational systems and technologies, in the Middle East and across the world. Crucially, this system functioned as a national archive in future tense, for a nation-state that was not yet in existence, seeking to substantiate its regional authority and shape its cultural repository, outlining parameters for inclusion and exclusion from its civic space. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, photography history, visual culture, Jewish studies, Israel studies and Middle East studies.

Book Synopsis The Domestic Interior and the Self in Contemporary Photography by : Jane Simon
Download or read book The Domestic Interior and the Self in Contemporary Photography written by Jane Simon and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-18 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By carefully conceptualising the domestic in relation to the self and the photographic, this book offers a unique contribution to both photography theory and criticism, and life-narrative studies. Jane Simon brings together two critical practices into a new conversation, arguing that artists who harness domestic photography can advance a more expansive understanding of the autobiographical. Exploring the idea that self-representation need not equate to self-portraiture or involve the human form, artists from around the globe are examined, including Rinko Kawauchi, Catherine Opie, Dayanita Singh, Moyra Davey, and Elina Brotherus, who maintain a personal gaze at domestic detail. By treating the representation of interiors, domestic objects, and the very practice of photographic seeing and framing as autobiographical gestures, this book reframes the relationship between interiors and exteriors, public and private, and insists on the importance of domestic interiors to understandings of the self and photography. The book will be of interest to scholars working in photographic history and theory, art history, and visual studies.
Book Synopsis The Market Photo Workshop in South Africa and the 'Born Free' Generation by : Julie Bonzon
Download or read book The Market Photo Workshop in South Africa and the 'Born Free' Generation written by Julie Bonzon and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents the history of the Market Photo Workshop (MPW) in Johannesburg and works produced by its new generation of photography students. Founded in 1989 by internationally renowned documentary photographer David Goldblatt, the MPW has reflected upon South African political struggles and sociocultural changes since its creation. Its foundation parallels a moment in time when photography was considered a ‘truth telling’ genre and an essential source of documents deployed against the apartheid regime. This book reflects on the evolution of the MPW in the post-apartheid era and explores how its new generation of students engages the photographic tradition of this institution and the revolutionary times that accompanied its creation to question their present moment. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual studies, photography, African studies, cultural studies and post-colonial studies.
Book Synopsis The Photographic Invention of Whiteness by : Stephanie Polsky
Download or read book The Photographic Invention of Whiteness written by Stephanie Polsky and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the creation of the concept of Whiteness, this study links early photographic imagery to the development and exploitation that were common in the colonial Atlantic World of the mid-to-late nineteenth century. With the advent of the daguerreotype in the mid-nineteenth century, White European settlers could imagine themselves as a supra-national community, where the attainment of wealth was rapidly becoming accessible through colonisation. Their dispersal throughout the colonial territories made possible the advent of a new representative type of Whiteness that eventually merged with the portrayal of modernity itself. Over time, the colonisation of the Atlantic World became synonymous with fascination itself within a European mind fixated upon both a racially subordinated world and the technical media through which it was represented. In the intervening centuries, images have acted as a medium of the imaginary, allowing for ideas around classification and the measurement of value to travel and to situate themselves as universal means. Contemporary societies still grapple with the residues of race, gender, class, and sexuality first established by the contrived mores of this representational medium, and those who were racialised by the camera as objects of fascination, curiosity, or concern have remained so well into the post-digital era. The book will be of interest to scholars working in history of photography, art history, colonialism, and critical race theory.
Book Synopsis An Ambiguous Partnership by : Menahem Kaufman
Download or read book An Ambiguous Partnership written by Menahem Kaufman and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the history of Zionism in America is well documented, the history of non-Zionist activities in America is less well known. An Ambiguous Partnership now tells that story. Dr Menahem Kaufman gives a detailed account of how American public figures and Jewish organizations, self-defined as non-Zionists, were influenced by changing attitudes in American society and government towards the Zionist struggle and by the problem of Holocaust survivors in Europe. This study describes the non-Zionists involvement in the political processes in Washington and the United Nations, which eventually brought about the establishment of the State of Israel.

Book Synopsis From Philanthropy to Activism by : David H. Shpiro
Download or read book From Philanthropy to Activism written by David H. Shpiro and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1994 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores the history of the American Zionist Emergency Council (AZEC, founded as the American Emergency Committee for Zionist Affairs in 1939). The escalating Nazi anti-Jewish policy and the closing of all the harbors in the free world to Jewish refugees in the 1930s made the Zionist solution for the problems brought about by the Holocaust the only practicable one. These circumstances made the Zionist movement in the USA the leading Jewish movement in the country, responsible for all of Jewry. Formerly an apolitical philanthropic body, the American Zionist movement, spearheaded by the AZEC, evolved into a powerful and influential political pressure group which successfully fought for the advancement of the Jewish state in the American political arena.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zionism in an Arab Country explores the relations between the Zionist establishment in Israel, and the Jewish community in Iraq. This relationship is centred on two organizations: a Zionist movement and a defense organization. By reviewing the activity of these organizations, Esther Meir-Glitzstein examines the decade preceding mass immigration, and reveals the political, societal, economic and cultural developments that shaped the history of Iraqi Jewry in this crucial period. Beyond the main focus on the sphere of Zionist activity, Meir-Glitzstein also uncovers the basic problems that shaped both the development of Iraqi Jewry in the 1940s and the policy of the Zionist establishment - trapped between Arab nationalism and Jewish nationalism. Finally, she elucidates the reasons and circumstances that led to the mass immigration of Jews from Iraq to the state of Israel.

Download or read book Eyes of Memory written by Leni Sonnenfeld and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two pioneering photojournalists present stunning photographs that document key moments in the experiences of the Jewish people from 1933 to the present Like most Jews living in Berlin, Herbert Sonnenfeld lost his job in 1933. He decided to visit Palestine, where he photographed the poor refugees in that undeveloped country. When he returned to Berlin, his pictures appeared in a Zionist newspaper, and his career in photojournalism was launched. His wife, Leni, soon became his assistant and then a photographer in her own right. After the couple came to America in 1939, they were able to travel farther afield, and they spent the rest of their lives taking pictures of Jewish communities around the world. This mesmerizing book is a selection of their best photographs. The images tell the story of Jewish life in prewar Berlin; of Youth Aliyah, a Palestine emigration program; and of Jewish communities from Iran to Morocco to Spain. Recording the arrival in Israel of Jews from all over the Diaspora, the Sonnenfelds document the creation and evolution of the Israeli nation. These haunting photographs, along with Leni Sonnenfeld's moving reminiscences, are a testament to the Jewish experience in the twentieth century.
