Wadham College, University of Oxford

25-26 March 2015

Deadline for applications: 30 October 2014

Organisers: Prof. Dr Carolin Duttlinger (Oxford), PD Dr Silke Horstkotte (Leipzig)

The Weimar Republic was a golden age of photography in Germany, producing ground breaking and innovative work whose influence continues to be seen until today. Breaking away from a pictorialist tradition of photography which tried to emulate painting in style and subject matter, photographers associated with the ‘New Objectivity’ movement (Neue Sachlichkeit) and with the Bauhaus school of ‘New Vision’ (Neues Sehen) drew on new technology, new recording strategies and new subject matters to radically redefine not just the conventions of art photography but the more general role of photography in society, its habits and conventions of viewing.

Januar 1933 und der Weg in die nationalsozialistische Diktatur bereits vielfach beschrieben und analysiert worden sind, stellen sich gerade auf dem Gebiet der Landesgeschichte immer noch viele offene Fragen.
