Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Abnutzung / Risse - leicht. Jacob A. Riis, a young ambitious police reporter for the New York Tribune, closely documented the poverty stricken world of crime and misfortune that infiltrated New York City at the end of the 19th Century. At the time, Riis was known for his prolific writing, now however, he is considered one of the fathers of photography, with an increasing rise of interest in his work.Riis identified with the socially immobilised day workers, the unemployed, the homeless, the prostitutes and the criminal gangs, all conditioned through his concept of The Other Half--an ideological system based on individual, domestic and social conditions.Dag Petersson has a twofold aim and focus; on the one hand, he presents a thorough and well-researched monograph on the work of Jacob A. Riis, giving a detailed account of his writings, his photographic oeuvre and his ideas. On the other hand, the book is an ambitious attempt at mapping a series of discursive transformations that pave the way for a subsequently dominant mode of thinking about urban pauperization in the twentieth century.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Making of The Other Half introduces a new theoretical approach to the study of Jacob A. Riis, the Danish-born photographer and reporter, who revolutionized the American tenement reform movement on the eve of the 19th century. Dag Petersson proposes a tailored mode of analysis, Discourse Mutation Theory, capable of probing into the shifting perceptions of immigration and tenement poverty that thanks to Riis's work gained a foothold across America. This sweeping change was an epistemic event sparked by the publication of How the Other Half Lives in 1890. In this seminal book, and in countless reform publications and illustrated lectures, Riis presented the Other Half as a destitute population to be otherwise perceived, understood and helped toward prosperity. Riis's primary contributions to the reform movement was the establishment of a new charity object: the truth about the Other Half. Petersson raises original questions about its unveiling and proposes an alternative mode of inquiry as well a reorientation of empirical research. The Making of The Other Half pays particular attention to the surge of reform movements in Copenhagen during Riis's residence in the city prior to his emigration to America. The discursive migration that took place along with Riss's journey from Copenhagen to New York is crucial for understanding the subsequent mutation event. By recognizing this parallel migration, a new history of Riis's work is revealed, and a new dimension of the Other Half opens up.

Since its inception in the 19th century, photography has brought to light a vast array of represented subjects. Always situated in some spatial order, photographic representations have been operatively underpinned by social, technical, and institutional mechanisms. Geographically, bodily, and geometrically, the camera has positioned its subjects in social structures and hierarchies, in recognisable localities, and in iconic depth constructions which, although they show remarkable variation, nevertheless belong specifically to the enterprises of the medium.This is the subject of Representational Machines: How photography enlists the workings of institutional technologies in search of establishing new iconic and social spaces. Together, the contributions to this edited volume span historical epochs, social environments, technological possibilities, and genre distinctions. Presenting several distinct ways of producing space photographically, this book opens a new and important field of inquiry for photography research., English, Year2013, Illust. B/W15, Illust.
