{"product_id":"photography-and-germany-andrzss-mario-zervigzen-9781780237480","title":"Photography and Germany","description":"The idea of photography in Germany evokes everything from the pioneering modernist pictures of the Weimar era to the colossal digital prints that define art photography today. But it also recalls horrifying documents of wartime atrocities and the relentless surveillance of East German citizens. \u003ci\u003ePhotography and Germany\u003c\/i\u003e broadens these perceptions by examining the medium's multi-faceted relationship with Germany's turbulent cultural, political, and social history while rethinking the notion of German photography with fresh insights on its historical context. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Andrés Mario Zervigón covers this history from the region's pre-photographic experiments with light-sensitive chemicals to today's tension between analog and digital technologies. Rather than simply providing a survey of German photography, however, he focuses on how the medium, as a product of the modern age, has intervened in a fraught project of national imagining, often to productive ends but sometimes to catastrophic results. Richly illustrated with numerous previously unpublished images, \u003ci\u003ePhotography and Germany\u003c\/i\u003e is the first single-authored history of photography in Germany ever published, one that deepens our broader understanding of how photography cultivates notions of a nation and its inhabitants. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrés Mario Zervigón\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780237480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780237480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reaktion Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 7.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2017","brand":"Andrés Mario Zervigón","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49082924466431,"sku":"9781780237480","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/photography-and-germany-andrzss-mario-zervigzen-9781780237480","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
