Summary:
"Transbordeur" est une revue d’histoire de la photographie. Elle s’adresse à tous ceux qui sont intéressés par les images, leur histoire, leur sociologie, leur évolution technique, leurs significations et matérialités multiples, leur rapport au temps et à l’histoire, leur circulation ; à tous ceux qui veulent comprendre le monde contemporain à travers l’histoire de la culture ; à tous ceux qui jettent un regard critique et curieux sur les phénomènes visuels qui les entourent. Plutôt que d’approcher la photographie d’un point de vue strictement esthétique, la revue "Transbordeur" a pour ambition de montrer sa place dans toutes les activités de la société, d’analyser comment elle a transformé en profondeur notre rapport au monde.

Durant plusieurs décennies et avant l’avènement de l’électronique, la photographie a suscité les espoirs d’une relève du papier comme support d’accumulation et de diffusion du savoir. Dans ce mouvement d’accélération et d’automatisation de sa diffusion, la photographie a été amenée à dépasser l’opération élémentaire d’enregistrement mimétique du monde pour devenir un(...)

Summary:
Durant plusieurs décennies et avant l’avènement de l’électronique, la photographie a suscité les espoirs d’une relève du papier comme support d’accumulation et de diffusion du savoir. Dans ce mouvement d’accélération et d’automatisation de sa diffusion, la photographie a été amenée à dépasser l’opération élémentaire d’enregistrement mimétique du monde pour devenir un médium hybride englobant à la fois l’enregistrement de l’image et le traitement des données relatives à celle-ci. Son statut s’en est trouvé profondément redéfini : de surface servant de support matériel à l’image latente, la photographie est devenue interface à travers laquelle cette même image se trouve non seulement fixée, mais encore augmentée de toutes sortes de renseignements – chronologiques, géographiques, techniques – qui lui permettent de se donner à voir comme information. Revenir sur son histoire oubliée, « chaînon manquant » entre l’ère du livre et la culture numérique, s’avère essentiel pour saisir les fondements de la « société de l’information » contemporaine et des digital humanities.

Summary:
The ruins of war have long held the power to stupefy and appall. Can such ruins ever be persuasively depicted and comprehended? Can images of them force us to identify with the suffering of the enemy and raise uncomfortable questions about forgiveness and revenge? Françoise Meltzer explores those questions in Dark Lens, which uses the images of war ruins in Nazi(...)

Summary:
The ruins of war have long held the power to stupefy and appall. Can such ruins ever be persuasively depicted and comprehended? Can images of them force us to identify with the suffering of the enemy and raise uncomfortable questions about forgiveness and revenge? Françoise Meltzer explores those questions in Dark Lens, which uses the images of war ruins in Nazi Germany to investigate problems of aestheticization, the representation of catastrophe, and the targeting of civilians in war. Through texts that give accounts of bombed-out towns in Germany in the last years of the war, painters’ attempts to depict the destruction, and her own mother’s photographs taken in Berlin and other cities in 1945, Meltzer asks if any medium offers a direct experience of war ruins for the viewer. Ultimately, she concludes that while the viewer cannot help reimaging the devastation through the lenses of history, aestheticization, or voyeurism, these images at least allow us to approach the reality of ruins and grasp the larger issue of targeting civilians in modern warfare for what it is.

Summary:
There are countless books on war photography, most of them focusing on dramatic images made by photojournalists in combat zones. "Photography and War" instead proposes a radically expanded notion of war photography, one that encompasses a far broader terrain of geographies, chronologies, practices, and viewpoints. Pippa Oldfied considers photography’s fundamental role in military reconnaissance, propaganda, and protest, as well as the exposure of war crimes and the memorialization of war, among other themes. While iconic images by well-known names such as Roger Fenton and Robert Capa are included, the viewpoints of people who have historically been overlooked—women and photographers from diasporic and non-Western backgrounds—are significantly gathered here. As a result, this book offers a nuanced and more inclusive understanding of war as a far-reaching undertaking in which anyone might be implicated and affected.

Summary:
''After the crisis'' offers a platform for discussions between some of today’s leading artists, writers, theorists, curators, and historians aimed at questioning the very status of photography today. Contributors come from the realms of critical theory, fiction, performance art, fashion photography, and museums, as well as film and design, and their conversations bring together history and the contemporary. Comparing the current situation of photographic images with the crisis experienced by representation at the time of the birth of photography, they set our relationship with photographic images in the digital era in perspective. Through these discussions, we come to sense the existential burden of being surrounded by images, while also beginning to grasp the historical depth of a questioning of images that started long before the current generation and engages with crucial political and cultural issues of our time.
