Unlearning the City: Infrastructure in a New Optical Field

PDF Unlearning the City: Infrastructure in a New Optical Field by Swati Chattopadhyay in Arts-Photography

Description

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Mediengeschichte; Note: 1;3; Humboldt-Universitauml;t zu Berlin; 8 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis; Sprache: Deutsch; Abstract: bdquo;Fotografie ist die technologische Verknuuml;pfung des optischen Prinzips der perspektivischen Wahrnehmungsweise mit dem chemischen Aufzeichnungsverfahren der empfindlichen fotografischen Schichtldquo; So einfach ist Fotografie zu erklauml;ren. Und doch ist sie es auch wieder nicht. Wie genau sieht das optische Prinzip aus? Und woraus genau besteht die fotografische Schicht? Diese Punkte und die Anfauml;nge der Fotografie genauer zu beleuchten; zu einer Zeit; da noch niemand auch nur daran gedacht hauml;tte; von Fotografie zu sprechen; ist der Zweck dieser Arbeit. Welche Entdeckungen waren nouml;tig; bevor das erste Abbild von etwas real Existierendem technisch festgehalten werden konnte? Welche Zufauml;lle brachten die Forschung voran? Dabei wird sich diese Arbeit allerdings nie mit der Fotografie; wie wir sie heute kennen beschauml;ftigen; schon gar nicht mit der Digitalfotografie. Mit den zwei reizvollen Sackgassen der Fotografiegeschichte; nauml;mlich denen; die Joseph Niceacute;phore Niepce und Louis Jaques Mandeacute; Daguerre erouml;ffneten; wird hier ein Schlussstrich gezogen.

AccusedBy Debra MarkusGreat as ever Archer hops ones attention as page after age is turned and no way to stop the flow.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Two EndingsBy D. SalmonI thoroughly enjoyed reading this play. The buildup left you wanting to know if guilty or not guilty. The two different ending definitely made this a great read. Jeffrey Archer sure does know how to weave a great tale.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. The Lords Last Bow....?By Narayan RadhakrishnanJeffrey Archer is world known for his bestsellers Kane and Abel; Shall We Tell the President and First Among Equals. This is his second foray into courtroom fiction; almost a decade and- a half after his first play; Beyond Reasonable Doubt premiered. As with any other courtroom drama comparisons with Agatha Christies Witness for the Prosecution is inevitable; and Archers play proves itself a serious and an enjoyable spoof of the Christie work. Doctor Sherwood stands accused of murder of his wife. He has a strong alibi; but a woman who claims to be his former mistress offers evidence that no one; other than the doctor himself could have murdered the victim. Her testimony is convincing in part and filled with loopholes in another. And it is up to the reader/ audience to decide the fate of the accused. Once the decision is made; the play continues; (with one of the either two ends based on the jury decision); with an expected `twist in the tale finish. The master storyteller he is; Archer also has proved to be a good dramatist; and the audience/ reader will enjoy the role of the juror while seeing/reading the play. The dialogues are crisp and funny; and especially enjoyable are the occasional digs the opposing lawyers take at one another.That Archer himself played the role of the accused doctor is interesting- In Archers life the line between fact and fiction has always been blurred; as Michael Crick puts in his unauthorized biography of Archer; Stranger than Fiction. In July this year; Lord Archer was found guilty of perjury and for perverting the course of justice by a jury of 11. Justice Potts while sentencing Archer to 4 years imprisonment described it as `one of the worst cases in British Criminal history. Archers drama premiered soon after he was accused; and more often than not the audience; I believe used to judge Archer the man; rather than the doctor- character; while acting as the jury. This of course; has made the drama a crowd puller; but the question remains; would the drama have enjoyed such a run; if Archer himself had not played the role of the accused. Archers greatest skill was his ability to turn misfortune to his own advantage; and now when he battles with the biggest fall of his life; will the master storyteller be able to strike back; or was it the Lords last bow...?
