Między strychem a „Rodziną człowieczą”
Celem artykułu jest poszerzenie wiedzy na temat roli, jaką fotografia odegrała w procesie prodemokratycznych przemian społeczno-ustrojowych w schyłkowym okresie PRL-u i pierwszych latach transformacji. Skupiając się przede wszystkim na praktykach nieartystycznych, omawiamy mało do tej pory rozpoznane inicjatywy historyczki i kuratorki Aleksandry Garlickiej i analizujemy pięć wystaw zorganizowanych przez nią w latach 1985–1995. Bazując na źródłach…

Photographic Digital Heritage in Cultural Conflicts
This introduction to the special issue “Photographic Digital Heritage in Cultural Conflicts” calls for the development of research into the various local and global political circumstances that have influenced the absorption of historical photographs into the realm of digital heritage, alongside the study of the digital photographic heritagization practices triggered by this very process. Opening with an exploration of the emergence of “the herit…

The Handbook of Photography Studies
The Handbook of Photography Studies is a state-of-the-art overview of the field of photography studies, examining its thematic interests, dynamic research methodologies and multiple scholarly directions. It is a source of well-informed, analytical and reflective discussions of all the main subjects that photography scholars have been concerned with as well as a rigorous study of the field's persistent expansion at a time when digital technology r…
Visioning Israel-Palestine
Visioning Israel-Palestine strives to cultivate recognition of the part that cultural products have played in the duplication of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. While this conflict is one of the longest-lasting struggles over land and human rights in recent history, politicians and the media have largely reduced it to a series of debates over historical facts and expressions of violence. Its persistence, however, has also led to the manufacture…

Making a Home in Poland
This article studies the photographic methods that the Poland-based Landkentnish (Yiddish for “knowing the land”) movement employed in the interwar period to promote Jewish culture and Poland as a home for the Jewish people. The movement wished to increase the exposure of Polish Jews to Poland’s diverse landscapes in order to strengthen their connection to the Polish land. It also aspired to create archives of local Jewish cultural heritage to at…
Introduction
Haunting Legacies
This article expands knowledge about photography's participation in pro-democratic socio-political processes in the years leading to the demise of the communist Polish People's Republic and during the creation of the post-communist Third Republic of Poland. Taking particular interest in uses of non-artistic photographs in the country's public cultural institutions of the late communist and early post-communist periods alike, we first introduce th…
Beyond the Familial Impulse
In 1994 the Jewish-Polish Shalom Foundation announced a photographic contest, the intention of which was to reconstruct the social and cultural histories of Polish Jews who lived in the geographical region of Poland before, during and after the Second World War. For this purpose the Foundation invited contributions from the public. Its initiative emerged shortly after the 1989 collapse of the communist regime in Poland, and alongside other simila…
Taking Snapshots, Living the Picture
In this article I explore how George Eastman and the Eastman Kodak Company \nencouraged early twentieth-century camera users to think of snapshots as \npictorial biographies. Analysing a wide selection of articles from the Kodakery, \none of Kodak’s most popular magazines in the first half of the twentieth \ncentury, I demonstrate that the company endeavoured to secure its prominence \nin the photographic market by encouraging members of the publ…
Photography's orientalism
In Photography’s Orientalism: New Essays on Colonial Representation, Ali Behdad and Luke Gartlan assemble a selection of essays that suspend the application of generalising postcolonial theories to
The Brownies in Palestina”
This article is concerned with the production of domestic familial knowledge in connection to the modern Israeli state's geographical terrain. Considering the period stretching from the establishment of the Israeli state in 1948 to the present day, it focuses on a case study of a family album of pictures portraying Israeli subjects in a landscape that is concurrently perceived as the home of the Palestinian as well as the Jewish-Israeli peoples. …
Posthumous Interruptions
Based on a survey of Israeli military and civil cemeteries that I conducted between July and September 2007, this article focuses on the increasingly common custom of mounting family photographs on tombstones of Israeli fallen soldiers—a phenomenon unique in Israel to military cemeteries in particular, although it is forbidden both by Jewish law as well as by the Israeli Law of Military Cemeteries legislated in 1950. I demonstrate how, from its f…
