Abstract

Abstract:This contribution focuses on the digital curation of Weimar Germany’s new visual literacy, using Kurt Tucholsky and John Heartfield’s photobook Deutschland, Deutschland über Alles as a case study to examine in which ways a photobook and accompanying research can be showcased online. Tucholsky and Heartfield’s work is an example of the photobook genre that rose to prominence in the 1920s, also for its potential to serve as an “Übungsatlas” (Walter Benjamin) for the new visual literacy. In curating the photobook online, using the publishing platform Scalar and the media repository Critical Commons, the photobook and the accompanying research not only become easily accessible to fellow researchers, students, and the public, but it also becomes possible to emulate and thus explore Weimar Germany’s new visual literacy online. Curating Tucholsky and Heartfield’s photobook and the related analysis online allows for a reflection on digital curation as scholarship, its use in the classroom, and its implications for the trajectory of photobook research.

从摄影书到电子书:策划魏玛德国的新视觉素养在线

摘要:本文以Kurt Tucholsky和John Heartfield的摄影作品《Deutschland, Deutschland ber Alles》为例，探讨了摄影作品和相关研究的在线展示方式，重点关注魏玛德国新视觉素养的数字策展。图科尔斯基和哈特菲尔德的作品是20世纪20年代崛起的摄影书类型的一个例子，也因为它有可能成为新的视觉素养的“Übungsatlas”(沃尔特·本雅明)。通过使用发布平台Scalar和媒体存储库Critical Commons，在线策划摄影书和相关研究不仅可以让其他研究人员、学生和公众轻松访问，而且还可以模仿并因此探索魏玛德国的新视觉素养。策展Tucholsky和Heartfield的摄影书以及相关的在线分析可以让我们反思数字策展作为一种学术研究，它在课堂上的应用，以及它对摄影书研究轨迹的影响。
