Abstract
The powerful Jewish engagement with photography has been felt in numerous photographic positions and theoretical reflections. This fact has so far however remained largely neglected in the research on the effect of photography. It is not only due to historical interest that this publication places its focus on those impulses stemming from Jewish tradition which — so the thesis — have also turned out to be especially productive for the visual discourse of the present; even more important is the aim to gain insights for the direction of contemporary photography. The question in the focus of the publication will therefore be how the Jewish culture which is oriented towards writing can be connected to photographic image production. The Research Centre Photography and the Media at the University of Applied Sciences in Bielefeld and the Department of Hebrew and Jewish Studies of University College, London have jointly organized a publication with international writers to create a forum of discussion from various perspectives for the Jewish engagement with photography. The aim of interpretative approaches within studies of visual culture, theology, psychology and philosophy is to on the one hand expand the reflective space for this medium which is used as an artistic, as well as an everyday practical medium, and on the other hand to give new impulses for its creative direction.
