    The “Cosmopolitan Art”: FIAP Yearbooks of Photography, 1954–1960 Alise Tifentale, The Graduate Center, City University of New York [Research paper presented at the CAA 2017 in New York City, February 17, 2017, at the session “Photography in Print.”] “It is a diversified, yet tempered picture book containing surprises on every page, a mirror to pulsating life, a rich fragment of cosmopolitan art, a pleasure ground of phantasy”—this is how, in March 1956, the editorial board of Camera magazine introduced the latest photography yearbook by the International Federation of Photographic Art (Fédération internationale de l'art photographique, FIAP). By examining the first four FIAP Yearbooks, published between 1954 and 1960 on a biennial basis,1 this paper aims to reconstruct some of the ideals behind the work of FIAP and to understand the “cosmopolitan art” of photography promoted by this organization. FIAP, a non-governmental and transnational association, was founded in Switzerland in 1950 and aimed at uniting the world’s photographers. It consisted of national associations of photographers, representing 55 countries: seventeen in Western Europe, thirteen in Asia, ten in Latin America, six in Eastern Europe, four in Middle East, three in Africa, one in North America, and Australia. As with many non-governmental organizations established around 1950, its membership was global, but the founders and leaders were based in Western Europe— Belgium, Switzerland, France, and West Germany. FIAP epitomized the postwar idealism which it shared with organizations such as UN or UNESCO. “The black and white art (..) through its truthfulness also stimulates one to 1 Three more FIAP yearbooks were published in 1962, 1964, and 1966.

  • An Exhibition of B&W Argentic Photographs by Olivier Meyer
    An exhibition of b&w argentic photographs by Olivier Meyer Location Gonville & Caius College, Trinity Street, Cambridge Exhibition 29 & 30 September 2018 10 am—5 pm Contact [email protected] Avenue du Président Wilson. 1987 Olivier Meyer, photographer Olivier Meyer is a contemporary French photographer born in 1957. He lives and works in Paris, France. His photo-journalism was first published in France-Soir Magazine and subsequently in the daily France-Soir in 1981. Starting from 1989, a selection of his black and white photographs of Paris were produced as postcards by Éditions Marion Valentine. He often met the photographer Édouard Boubat on the île Saint-Louis in Paris and at the Publimod laboratory in the rue du Roi de Sicile. Having seen his photographs, Boubat told him: “at the end of the day, we are all doing the same thing...” When featured in the magazine Le Monde 2 in 2007 his work was noticed by gallery owner Charles Zalber who exhibited his photographs at the gallery Photo4 managed by Victor Mendès. Work His work is in the tradition of humanist photography and Street photography, using the same material as many of the forerunners of this style: Kodak Tri-X black and white film, silver bromide prints on baryta paper, Leica M3 or Leica M4 with a 50 or 90 mm lens. The thin black line surrounding the prints shows that the picture has not been cropped. His inspiration came from Henri Cartier-Bresson, Édouard Boubat, Saul Leiter. His portrait of Aguigui Mouna sticking his tongue out like Albert Einstein, published in postcard form in 1988, and subsequently as an illustration in a book by Anne Gallois served as a blueprint for a stencil work by the artist Jef Aérosol in 2006 subsequently reproduced in the book VIP.

More in detail, this work analyzes photographs of Florence’s medieval and Renaissance heritage by the Alinari Brothers atelier (1852- 1890), and then retraces these photographs’ relationship to contemporary visual culture – namely through representations of Florence in international cinema, art photography, and the guidebook – as well as to the city’s actual structure. Unlike previous scholarship, my research places the Alinari Brothers’ photographs in the context of the enigmatic processes of urban modernization that took place in Florence throughout the 19th century, changing its medieval structure into that of a modern city and the capital of newly unified Italy from 1865 to 1871. The Alinari photographs’ tension between the establishment of the myth of Florence as the cradle of the Renaissance and an uneasy attitude towards modernization, both cherished and feared, produced a multi-layered city portrait, which raises questions about crucial issues such as urban heritage preservation, mass tourism, (de)industrialization, social segregation, and real estate speculation.

When La Biennale di Venezia Meets History does not just convey the content that visitors to the Central Pavilion in the Giardini della Biennale will encounter, but also a vision. Disquiet serves as a driving force behind research, which requires dialogue to verify its theories and needs history to absorb knowledge. This is what La Biennale does and will continue to do as it seeks to reinforce a methodology that creates even stronger bonds between its own disciplines. There are six Muses at the Biennale: Art, Architecture, Cinema, Theatre, Music and Dance, given a voice through the great events that fill Venice and the world every year. There are the places that serve as venues for all of La Biennale’s activities: the Giardini, the Arsenale, the Palazzo del Cinema and other cinemas on the Lido, the theatres, the city of Venice itself.

    PROVISIONAL History 318-15A Italy: from the French Revolution to the Present University of Pennsylvania Spring Semester 2015 Monday and Wednesday 2.00-3.30 Instructor: Jonathan Steinberg Office: 206E College Hall Office hours: Wednesday 2.00 to 3.00 or by appointment Phone: 215 573 5449 e-mail: [email protected] The seminar looks at the evolution of modern Italy from the Napoleonic Era through the unification of the Kingdom in 1861, through its crisis in the First World War and the subsequent struggle for control of the new mass society. It looks at the emergence of the first fascist regime and the first modern dictatorship under Benito Mussolini; the rise and consolidation of that dictatorship, its descent into anti-semitism, defeat in war and the civil war of 1943-45, which followed that defeat. Out of that crisis a new prosperous republic has grown. It traces that story to the latest stage, the curious media dictatorship of Silvio Berlusconi, its collapse and the Euro crisis. Modern Italian history contains all the problems of modern Europe and some unique to it. Its culture through the pizza, the pasta and the fine consumer products has become world-wide, and its children live in large numbers in every major city in the world. One of the glories of modern Italian history has been the exceptional quality of its literature. Great fiction can form an alternative approach with which to gain insights into Italian history. Five works of literature and one remarkable piece of reportage on the Papacy have been put on a list as required reading.

Italy in the 19th and 20th Centuries – Writing Intensive This course will introduce students to the major political, cultural and social trends in Italy since the defeat of Napoleon. Within this broad overview three historical “problems” will be examined in depth. These are: 1) the place of the Risorgimento in Italian unification; 2) the rise and fall of Italian Fascism; and 3) the immigration waves of the past 3 decades and their impact on Italian identity. By analyzing these problems students should gain a command not only of the "names and dates" of modern Italian history but also come to understand the dynamics involved: the interplay of regional influences, the basic trends of continuity and change, and the role of the individual and of social forces. Required Texts: 1. Christopher Duggan, The Force of Destiny: A History of Italy Since 1796. 2. Carlo Levi, Christ Stopped at Eboli. (any edition) Expected Learning Outcomes: Skills: History as a discipline consists of analysis and expository writing. Consequently, the “writing intensive” aspect of this course is designed both to improve your general writing skills and to develop your ability to “do” history. Through engagement with controversial subjects and conflicting interpretations across primary sources and secondary texts, you will further develop your abilities to read and write critically and to recognize and question the political implications of history writing. Knowledge: You will learn to define some perhaps familiar political terms (for example, Liberalism, Republicanism, Fascism, Socialism, Communism, Christian Democracy) in the context of Italian politics.
