Abstract

Alphonse Bertillon’s system of identification has taken a place in the canon of photographic history ever since several key texts published in the 1980s demanded scholarly attention to repressive as well as honorific portraits. This article focuses on Bertillon’s most spectacular accomplishment, which resulted in the worldwide adoption of his techniques: the 1892 arrest and identification of the famed anarchist Ravachol. Ravachol’s identification became a highly publicised struggle over the image of both the state and the anarchist during the height of anarchism in Europe.

Bertillon, ravachhol和警察肖像的爆炸性潜力

自从20世纪80年代出版的几本关键文本要求学术界关注压制性和尊称性肖像以来，Alphonse Bertillon的身份识别系统就在摄影史上占据了一席之地。这篇文章聚焦于Bertillon最引人注目的成就，这导致了他的技术在世界范围内被采用：1892年逮捕并确认了著名的无政府主义者Ravachol。在欧洲无政府主义的鼎盛时期，拉瓦乔的身份成为了一场关于国家和无政府主义者形象的激烈斗争。
