Summary:

"The powerful Jewish engagement with photography has been felt in numerous photographic positions and theoretical reflections. This fact has remained largely neglected in the research on the effectivity of photography. It is not only due to historical interest that the conference placed its focus on those impulses from the Jewish tradition which - so the thesis - have also turned out to be especially productive for the visual discourse of the present; even more important was the aim to gain insights for the direction of contemporary photography. The question in the focus of the conference was therefore how the Jewish culture, which is oriented towards writing, can be connected to photographic image production"--Back cover.
