Photography, Modernity and the Governed in Late-colonial Indonesia
The essays in Photography, Modernity and the Governed in Late-colonial Indonesia examine, from a historical perspective, how contested notions of modernity, civilization and being governed were envisioned through photography in early twentieth-century Indonesia (c. 1901-1942), a period when a liberal reform program known as the Ethical Policy was being implemented under the Dutch colonial regime.
This volume is the first English-language study of the Ethical Policy. It is also the first study to examine 'ethical' ways of seeing through photography, a medium whose proliferation among a mass audience as well as amateur practitioners coincided with a reform era that brought significant social and political change to colonial Indonesia.
The essays in this collection, by leading scholars in the field - Susie Protschky, Jean Gelman Taylor, Rudolf Mràzek, Henk Schulte Nordholt, Karen Strassler, Pamela Pattynama, Joost Cotè and Paul Bijl - reveal how the camera evoked diverse, often contradictory modes of envisioning an ethically-governed colony, one in which the promises of 'modernity' and 'civilization' were contested notions. Photographs made by and for Indonesian men and women, Chinese, and Indo-Europeans provide unique insights into the concerns of historical actors whose views on the Ethical Policy have rarely been canvassed. Photographs taken by European authorities also provide new perspectives on how the reform program was conceived and implemented by the governing classes.

Praca postpamięci w Kartografie Juana Mayorgi
The Effect of Postmemory in Juan Mayorga’s The Cartographer The Cartographer of Juan Mayorga was inspired by a visit to Warsaw in 2008. The author went on a ‘walk through an invisible Warsaw’, as he himself described it. It was a journey which followed the places pictured in photographs from the ghetto, which Mayorga saw at an exhibition at the Nożyki Synagogue. I was able to find them. Since photographs play an ‘essential role as a medium of postmemory’, as stressed by Marianne Hirsch, one of the leading researchers on postmemory processes in her paper The Generation of Postmemory, I would like to consider the means by which the photographs from the ghetto have initiated the effect of (affiliative) postmemory on this contemporary playwright (born in 1965), who has no connection to the Holocaust either through his family or even national background. I would also like to explore their effect on the dramatic developments of The Cartographer which take place within two time frames – Warsaw in 1940 as well as contemporarily.

Emerging Memory
This incisive volume brings together postcolonial studies, visual culture and cultural memory studies to explain how the Netherlands continues to rediscover its history of violence in colonial Indonesia. Dutch commentators have frequently claimed that the colonial past and especially the violence associated with it has been 'forgotten' in the Netherlands. Uncovering 'lost' photographs and other documents of violence has thereby become a recurring feature aimed at unmasking a hidden truth. The author argues that, rather than absent, such images have been consistently present in the Dutch public sphere and have been widely available in print, on television and now on the internet. Emerging Memory: Photographs of Colonial Atrocity in Dutch Cultural Remembrance shows that between memory and forgetting there is a haunted zone from which pasts that do not fit the stories nations live by keep on emerging and submerging while retaining their disturbing presence.

Animal kingdom : stereoscopic images of natural history
Throughout his life photographer Jim Naughten has been fascinated with the natural world. As a child, he collected fossils he found near his home in Dover. Now a renowned photographer, Naughten has started to experiment with stereography and has turned to his boyhood interest, gaining access to the archives of some of the world's most prestigious natural history museums. This gorgeously produced book contains fifty images of marine life, reptiles, mammals, birds and primates photographed expressly for viewing through a stereoscope, which is included with the book. Stereoscopy was invented in 1839 to study and explain binocular vision. Having two eyes allows humans to determine distance and depth and stereoscopy shows a left- and right-eye view from a slightly different angle, as we see things in day-to-day life. Looking through the stereo viewer, readers will see the specimens as three-dimensional objects. As the images jump off the page, their incredible details become apparent-delicate bat wings, the spiraling skeleton of a python, the almost mythic form of a leafy sea dragon.A foreword by Martin Barnes of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London offers an assessment of the work while essays on the specimens themselves and the history of stereoscopy provide rich background to this photographic technology, and to Naughten's achievement in bringing to life a world that seamlessly melds the past and present.

The Full-Length Mirror
Beautifully illustrated, a stirring and wide-ranging reflection on art, technology, culture—and the full-length mirror. This book tells two stories about the full-length mirror. One story, through time and space, crisscrosses the globe to introduce a broad range of historical actors: kings and slaves, artists and writers, merchants and craftsmen, courtesans, and commoners. The other story explores the connections among objects, painting, and photography, the full-length mirror providing a new perspective on historical artifacts and their images in art and visual culture. The Full-Length Mirror represents a new kind of global art history in which \"global\" is understood in terms of both geography and visual medium, a history encompassing Europe, Asia, and North America, and spanning over two millennia from the fourth century BCE to the early twentieth century.

Florian Schwarz : a handful of dust
Knowledge of the universe is growing, but human existence is increasingly being called into question. This paradox is the leitmotiv of A handful of dust, a photographic research project by Florian Schwarz. Over a period of four years, he traveled to observatories in the most remote places in the world. He insightfully links the distant view into the expanse of space with close-up views of the people who live in the surroundings of these institutes. He covers a spectrum from the dusty, bleak ends of this world to the center of the universe, where our center is also situated?since we, as the most recent research has shown, consist of up to 97% stardust.00Exhibition: Kunstmuseum Singen, Germany (14.07.-15.09.2019).
