These photographers developed and implemented physiognomic and ethnographic photography, and, through a Selbstgleichschaltung (a self-co-ordination with the regime), continued to practice as photographers throughout the twelve years of the Third Reich.</p><p>The volume explores, through photographic reproductions and accompanying analysis, diverse aspects of photography during the Third Reich, ranging from the influence of Modernism, the qualitative effect of propaganda photography, and the utilisation of technology such as colour film, to the photograph as ideological metaphor. With an emphasis on the idealised representation of the German body and the role of physiognomy within this representation, the book examines how select photographers created and developed a visual myth of the ‘master race’ and its antitheses under the auspices of the Nationalist Socialist state.</p><p>Photography in the Third Reich approaches its historical source photographs as material culture, examining their production, construction and proliferation. This detailed and informative text will be a valuable resource not only to historians studying the Third Reich, but to scholars and students of film, history of art, politics, media studies, cultural studies and holocaust studies.</p> 04 00 Contents Foreword Eric Kurlander Introduction Editor’s Introduction Christopher Webster Photo Lessons: Teaching Physiognomy during the Weimar Republic Pepper Stetler STATE Dark Sky, White Costumes: The Janus State of Modern Photography in Germany 1933–1945 Rolf Sachsse LEADERS ‘The Deepest Well of German Life’: Hierarchy, Physiognomy and the Imperative of Leadership in Erich Retzlaff’s Portraits of the National Socialist Elite Christopher Webster WORKERS The Timeless Imprint of Erna Lendvai-Dircksen’s Das deutsche Volksgesicht (Face of the German Race) Andrés Mario Zervigón HEIMAT Photography, Heimat, Ideology Ulrich Hägele MYTH ‘Transmissions from an Extrasensory World’ — Ethnos and Mysticism in the Photographic Nexus Christopher Webster SCIENCE Science and Ideology: Photographic ‘Economies of Demonstration’ in Racial Science Amos Morris Reich Conclusion Download Christopher Webster Bibliography List of Illustrations About the Team Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 04 01 20210107 02 WORLD 06 15 9781783749140 06 15 9781783749157 06 15 9781783749164 06 15 9781800646131 06 15 9781783749195 06 15 9781783749171 06 15 9781783749188 WORLD 09 Open Book Publishers 20 02 5.99 GBP WORLD
