LIGUORI 2001 596 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, VOLUME INTONSO, MAI SFOGLIATO, PERFETTO. Il testo si caratterizza come un lavoro al contempo storicoe teorico. Storico: in quanto ripercorre alcune delle tappe edei temi fondamentali che hanno attraversato la storia della fotografia nel XX secolo (dalla fotografia sociale al reportage), mettendo in luce il valore delle singole pratiche fotografiche in rapporto agli eventi storici,sociali e politici, nonché alla sensibilità e al gusto del tempo. Teorico:in quanto si è posto l'obiettivo di tematizzare i grandi problemi che stanno a fondamento della fotografia come fatto di cultura in un'epoca come la nostra in cui l'immagine ha assunto un ruolo di grande rilievo nell'esistenza di ognuno di noi. La politica, la guerra, i fenomeni di moda, l'erotismo: cosa sarebbero questi significativi settori della storia e dell'esistenza senza l'immagine riproducibile, senza la fotografia, il cinema, la televisione? La planetarizzazione di tali ambiti, nel senso soprattutto delle conoscenze che abbiamo delle loro specificità o dei comportamenti da noi adottati nella pratica, dipende, in modo determinante, dal ruolo svolto dall'immagine, dalla sua capacità di mettere tutto alla portata di tutti, di far conoscere la maggior parte di cose al maggior numero possibile di individui.

Ein neuwertiges Exemplar. - Women by the Waterfront examines the role of the beach in modernist texts written by and about women. Combining original studies on nature writing with queer perspectives on the works of Virginia Woolf, Katherine Mansfield, Stevie Smith and others, this book does not only open fresh pathways in the fields of modernist studies and human geography, it also reveals that beaches are a productive space in women’s experimental literature. A close investigation of cultural artefacts including novels, short stories, story fragments, diary entries, paintings and poems shows that the beach serves as a ‘room of their own’: a privileged, in-between space which women use to challenge, suspend and transgress the limitations of a binary gender order.
