Edition Axel Menges Michael Nether: On Stage
Book SynopsisText in English & German. When at the end of the 1960s Michael Nether set out for Berlin, that city held enormous attraction for young intellectuals and artists, just as it had done in the Roaring Twenties. There were demonstrations and happenings, there was Kommune 1 with Rainer Langhans and Uschi Obermeier, and everywhere people held endless discussions that continued throughout the night. Scandalous theatrical performances and legendary concerts with musicians such as Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Leonard Cohen and George Moustaki gave expression to a new sensibility. And then there was Klaus Kinski, in his unforgettable performance of Jesus Christ and other one-man shows. Nether photographed what he saw face to face -- 'on stage' -- including stars of international cinema like Claudia Cardinale, Roman Polanski, Peter Ustinov or Pier Paolo Pasolini. One of his first photos was the scene of a 1969 student demonstration at the Berlin Gedächtniskirche. Crowds of people throng the streets observed by countless curious passersby, and the police are there with their vans. The composition of the picture can hardly have happened by chance. Cars and the façades of buildings are points of reference past which people wind like a huge serpent. At the centre top of the picture there is a bright light. The photo sums up the atmosphere of departure and the state of mind of an entire generation. Here Nether demonstrates that he is an articulate documentary photographer. Towards the end of the 1970s, Nether returned to his home region of Swabia. Here he went into business with a partner, worked for advertising agencies -- for instance, taking photographs for Porsche in the company's research and development centre in Weissach -- but he also gradually made a name for himself as a photographic artist, with his own gallery in Bietigheim-Bissingen; particularly noteworthy were his pictures of prominent celebrities such as Wolf Biermann, Martin Walser, Woody Allen or Helmut Newton, as well as numerous photos of performances by the Stuttgart Ballet, but also of "street people". He succeeds in subtly communicating with the latter in these photos and making this dialogue visible. Today his main interest focuses on photographing portraits and nudes. In 2009 the International Center of Photography in New York purchased 100 photographs by Nether.

Oxford University Press American Modernism and Depression Documentary
Book SynopsisAmerican Modernism and Depression Documentary surveys the uneven terrain of American modernity through the lens of the documentary book. Jeff Allred argues that photo-texts of the 1930s stage a set of mediations between rural hinterlands and metropolitan areas, between elite producers of culture and the forgotten man of Depression-era culture, between a myth of consensual national unity and various competing ethnic and regional collectivities. In light of the complexity this entails, this study takes issue with a critical tradition that has painted the ^documentary expression of the 1930s as a simplistic and propagandistic divergence from literary modernism. Allred situates these texts, and the documentary modernism they represent, as a central part of American modernism and response to American modernity, as he looks at the impoverished sharecroppers depcited in the groundbreaking Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, the disenfranchised African Americans in Richard Wright''s polemical 12 MilTrade ReviewAllred's work is well supported by detailed analysis of Depression-era photos and text. Recommended. * Choice *Rather than a critique of a genre, we are presented with a redefinition of form, content, and, most importantly, the daunting import that expressive creativity exercised during a major historical period in the making of America. We are persuaded that what we have critically encoded as 'them' or 'they' turns out to be, definitively, 'we' or 'us.' Old distinctions between the masses and the rest of us are eradicated. Allred's reading of Richard Wright and the 'knot' of race is brilliant. * Houston Baker, Vanderbilt University *Allred's book offers an impressive new take on the Depression-era documentary that dispenses with the sentimentality and commitment to realism that surrounds much criticism of this genre. More significantly, he offers a way to read documentary not as an interruption of modernist experimentation, but as an integral part of it. * Susan Hegeman, University of Florida *American Modernism and Depression Documentary is a stirring investigation of the 'aesthetics of interruption' of 1930s-era documentary books. In sparkling, incisive, and lapidary prose, Jeff Allred luminously navigates the fissure between modernism and documentary forms, eloquently accentuating the tension between the photographic image and the surrounding text in the framework of the politics and culture of the Great Depression. * Alan Wald, University of Michigan *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ; Introduction: Plausible Fictions of the Real ; Chapter One: From <"Culture>" to <"Cultural Work>": Literature and Labor Between the Wars ; Chapter Two: The Road to Somewhere: Locating Knowledge in Erskine Caldwell and Margaret Bourke-White's You Have Seen Their Faces (1937) ; Chapter Three: Moving Violations: Stasis and Mobility in James Agee's and Walker Evans's Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1941) ; Chapter Four: From Eye to We: Richard Wright's 12 Million Black Voices, Documentary, and Pedagogy ; Chapter Five: <"We Americans>": Henry Luce, Life, and the Mind-Guided Camera ; Epilogue: Depression Documentary and the Knot of History ; Works Cited ; Index

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Women in Wartime
Book SynopsisThis book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched.Picture Post magazine was made famous by its pioneering photojournalism, which vividly captured a panorama of wartime events and the ordinary lives affected. This book is the first to examine this fascinating primary source as a cultural record of women's dress history. Reading the magazine's visual narratives from 1938 to 1945, it weaves together the ways in which design, style and fashion were affected by, and responded to, the state of being at war - and the new gender roles it created for women. From the working class of Whitechapel to the beach sets of the Bahamas, and from well-heeled Mayfair to middle-class New York, Women in Wartime takes a wide-angled lens to the fashions and lifestyles of the women featured in Picture Post. Exploring the nature of femininity and the struggle to be fashionable during the war, the book reveals critical connectTrade ReviewWomen in Wartime is successful in demonstrating the value has as an academic resource. Furthermore, it is relevant to studies of the Second World War, beauty, gender, and material culture. While the themes within this work may not be novel for a seasoned fashion researcher, the source material is fresh, and the extensive use of images makes it a serviceable resource for those interested in visual culture. Most of all, this book leaves the reader curious, with a desire to explore the archive for themselves. * Journal of Dress History *Women in Wartime is a fascinating and sometimes surprising survey of fashion during the 1930s and ‘40s. Using Picture Post as a unique window into the period, it reveals the changes that war brought to women’s everyday lives. Howell’s deep understanding and exhaustive knowledge of her source material help her show how the magazine captured the look of this era in all its contradictions and contrasts. * Amanda Mason, Senior Curator, Imperial War Museums, London, UK *This wonderful, engaging and lively book discusses the full range of dress history in the Second World War from couture to rationing, from high fashion to living with poverty, from practical clothing to home sewing. With its impeccable scholarship, it is essential reading for fashion and social historians, and for anyone interested in the visual culture of this vital period in British history. * Sue Malvern, University of Reading, UK *As a museum curator, it is wonderful to have a book about fashion in real life across all levels of society. The Picture Post is a unique resource and makes this a truly insightful read for anyone studying fashion history. * Natalie Raw, Curator of Dress and Textiles, Leeds Museums and Galleries, UK *This fulsomely illustrated book opens up a mine of fresh research into the study of dress and social history. It throws a unique searchlight on the popular Picture Post magazine 1938-57, specifically on its detailed coverage of the daily lives, aspirations, problems, work, beauty and fashion interests of women all ages and classes but especially of the everyday women of this period. Howell sets all of this, significantly, in the context of the progressive and anti-fascist ideals of the journal’s editors, journalists and documentary photographers – fascinating reading indeed. * Lou Taylor, University of Brighton, UK *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgements Introducing Picture Post 1.

Capturing the tensions and tragedy of the period, this study also prompts reflection on the nature of war reporting - the ethical dilemmas and lasting trauma journalists grappled with in their struggle to bring the desperate situation within the city to the attention of the wider world. * Elizabeth Roberts, Independent Scholar/University of Oxford, UK *Foreign correspondents brought the horror of the siege of Sarajevo to the world. In this deftly written volume, Kenneth Morrison and Paul Lowe tell the story of how they did it, through an examination of the daily life of reporters, discussion of the city’s broadcast infrastructure and key critical developments that affected their work. This masterfully documented book makes use of extensive interviews with foreign reporters, local translators, stringers, fixers, and engineers, as well as archival research conducted over many years. In an era of fake news and ‘alternative facts’, it is essential reading for media practitioners who want to understand this critical era of journalism and will be equally vital for both scholars of the region and general readers interested in the longest siege in modern history. * Lara J.
