During the symposium the following year in Bradford, England (Censor- ship of Photography in Europe) this proposal was generally accepted. Vienna was considered – for historical and practical reasons – to be a good place to gather. The first Photographic Society (PHG) in the German-speaking lands was founded in Vienna in 1861. Also, the first school of photography in Austria was established in Salzburg. In addition, in 1888 in Vienna, Josef Maria Eder founded and directed the first school for photography in Europe. Both institutions are still active. The proceedings of the meeting comprise in part a report about the development of the Photographic Society in Vienna. Last year, the considerable collection of about 60,000 photographs – started by the PHG in the early nineteenth century – passed from the Höhere Graphische Bundes- Lehr- und Versuchanstalt to the Graphische Sammlung Albertina. Here it is being catalogued and will eventually be made acces- sible on the internet. Further information about the activities of the PHG are report- ed in this volume. This book, Photography and Research in Austria - Vienna, the Door to the Euro- pean East contains twenty-three lectures presented by colleagues from Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Moravia, Poland, Scandinavia, Serbia, Slo- vakia, Slovenia, Spain, the United Kingdom, the USA - and lastly from Austria. Across centuries, many of the above mentioned countries have enriched the cultural life of Austria; much of its multicultural environment has its roots in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The ESHP was founded in Antwerp in 1977 with the aim of bringing together out- standing scientists and historians to contribute to the history of photography. Its membership includes curators, sociologists, ethnologists, photographers and collec- tors. On the twentieth anniversary of the ESHP in Antwerp in 1998, Dr. Laurent Roo- sens summarized the intentions of the Society, which remain valid today. His talk has already been published in our Newsletter (Winter/Spring 1998). For new and future members, this speech is reported in the appendix to this volume. The meeting in Vienna was opened at the Austrian National Library in the beauti- ful baroque atmosphere of the Oratorium. It was introduced by the Director General, Dr. Johanna Rachinger, who referred to the photographic collection at the Austrian National Library. Her welcome to the audience was warm and gratefully accepted by the delegates. On the first day, the Curator of Photography at the Austrian National Library, Mag. Uwe Schögl, led a guided tour through the collection, where Dr. Hans 9 Preface Petschar, the computer specialist, showed the delegates the operation of the data system. An additional highlight was the evening reception at the Albertina where Dr. Mo- nika Faber, the Chief Curator of the photographic collection, presented the work in progress of the Austrian Photographic Biographical and Bibliographical Database 1839 - 1918. The management provided a rich and enjoyable buffet to the delegates. After completion of the restructuring of the Albertina building planned for April 2003, the collection will reopen its doors. Furthermore, both images and library will then be accessible for research by computer. The symposium concluded with an outstanding reception at WestLicht – The Showcase of Photography, a new venue for photography in Vienna. An Italian-style buffet was served. Besides displaying some 800 examples of historically significant photographic technology from the museum collection and from prominent private collectors, WestLicht offers a comprehensive overview of the evolution of photo- graphy. It also has an exhibition programme of work by famous photographers. We are also very pleased to announce that our next meeting will be held in Stock- holm in September 2002. Our executive member, Eva Dahlman, from the Nordiska Museet in Stockholm will organise this meeting. The Symposium and the Proceedings could only be completed thanks to the generous support of our sponsors: Bundeskanzleramt, Sektion für Kunstangelegenheiten, Wien Wissenschafts- und Forschungsförderung - Stadt Wien Bank Austria, Wien We owe a great debt not only to our hosts, the Austrian National Library, but al- so to the Photographic Society in Vienna. We would like to thank them all for their substantial financial support and continued encouragement. January 2002 Anna Auer (President of the ESHP) 10 Johanna Rachinger Inauguration Speech Ladies and Gentlemen, as the Managing Director of the Austrian National Library I have great pleasure in wel- coming you to our building on the occasion of this year’s international symposium of the ”European Society for the History of Photography.” I welcome with particular warmth the participating scientists from our neighbouring countries and even further afield: from Slovenia, Yugoslavia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, Italy, Ger- many, Belgium, Great Britain, Sweden, and the USA. This year’s symposium has as its theme the history of photography in Austria and in particular the importance of Vienna as a place of cultural links to Eastern Europe, the witness of a century of common history. The holdings of our Library, as the suc- cessor institution to the Imperial Court Library, document in an impressive manner those close cultural ties to our neighbouring states in the East up to the present day. To mention only one small example: the oldest book printed in Slovenian, the only existant copy, is in our Library. It is a catechism of the Slovenian religious reformer Pri- moz Trubar that appeared in 1550, and was recently shown in a splendid exposition in Lubljana. So we are especially pleased that the European Society for the History of Photo- graphy accepted the invitation of the Austrian National Library to hold its conference this year in the historic rooms of the Austrian National Library. Incidentally, you are at the moment in the former Oratorium of the Augustinian monastery, which today still exists in the neighbouring buildings. This room was used by the ruling Habsburg family for the storage of corpses before burial. If you look closely you can see skulls in the stucco of the ceiling. Please permit me to say a few words about

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: SLAVE LEGACIES, AMBIVALENT
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: SLAVE LEGACIES, AMBIVALENT MODERNITY: STREET COMMERCE AND THE TRANSITION TO FREE LABOR IN RIO DE JANEIRO, 1850-1925 Patricia Acerbi, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Barbara Weinstein Department of History This project is a history of street vending during the transition from enslaved to free labor in the capital of the most enduring slave society of the Americas. Street vending – long the province of African slaves and free blacks – became in these years a site of expanded (European) immigrant participation and shifting state disciplinary policies. My dissertation contends that during the gradual transition to free labor, urban policing and the judicial system in the city of Rio came to target “criminality” rather than illicit or improper vending practices. Disciplinary measures established by criminal law focused on correcting individuals who were peddlers and not inadequately regulated street commercial activity. Thus, the language of citizenship appeared in court cases to both establish and resist negative characterizations of street vendors while a gradual marginalization of street commerce occurred within the framework of citizenship building. The practice of street commerce during this transitional era reveals a historical process that produced and transformed notions of legitimate work and public order as well as the racial segmentation of the labor force. Street vending, I argue, became a strategy of subsistence among the post-abolition urban poor, who came to their own understandings of freedom, free labor, and citizenship. Elite and popular attitudes toward street vending reflected the post- abolition political economy of exclusion and inclusion, which peddlers did not experience as mutually exclusive but rather as a dialectic of an ambivalent modernity.

  • PETZVAL's LENS and CAMERA by Rudolf Kingslake
    PETZVAL'S LENS AND CAMERA by Rudolf Kingslake Joseph Max Petzval was born on January 6, 1807, in Hungary of German parentage; he died 84 years later in September 1891. Being a member of the mathematics faculty of the University of Vienna, he naturally approached the problem of lens design from a mathematical rather than from an empir­ ical standpoint, which probably accounted in part for his suc­ cess. He actually designed two lenses in 1839, the Portrait lens which he immediately commissioned P. F. von Voigtlander to make, and the Orthoscopic lens which was not manufactured T THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT of the Daguerreotype until 1856.

Petzval, then 33 years old, devoted himeslf enthusiasti­ cally to the problem and was amazingly successful. He used a well-corrected telescope objective the right way round for his front component, and added an airspaced doublet behind it, the rear doublet being mathematically designed to give sharp de­ finition and to flatten the field. The formula was handed to the old-established Viennese optician Voigtlander, who first supplied the lens to a focal length of 150 mm and an aperture of f/3.6, mounted in a conical metal camera having a circular ground-glass focusing screen 94 mm diameter with a focusing magnifier permanently installed behind it.

  • JOSEF HOFFMANN Progress Through Beauty
    Advanced Press Release JOSEF HOFFMANN Progress Through Beauty Opening Wednesday, 9 December 2020, 7 p.m. Exhibition Venue MAK Exhibition Hall MAK, Stubenring 5, 1010 Vienna Exhibition Dates 10 December 2020 – 18 April 2021 Opening Hours Tue 10 a.m.–9 p.m., Wed–Sun 10 a.m.–6 p.m. To celebrate his 150th birthday the MAK is honoring the architect, designer, teacher, exhibition organizer, and cofounder of the Wiener Werkstätte Josef Hoffmann (1870– 1956) with the most comprehensive retrospective of his entire oeuvre ever shown. Hoffmann cultivated an exemplary modern lifestyle model and focused on aesthetics and beauty as the central parameters of modern design. The exhibition JOSEF HOFFMANN: Progress Through Beauty revisits every facet of the almost 60-year creative output produced by this influential global pioneer in architecture and design around 1900 and enriches the systematic research into and dissemination of his legacy. With an initially puristic design vocabulary, Josef Hoffmann carved out his position as one of the protagonists of Viennese Modernism. His ideal of the Gesamtkunstwerk—or total work of art—and his outstanding buildings like Stoclet House in Brussels (1905– 1911), now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, left a mark on the architectural and artistic landscape both nationally and internationally. Although this all-round designer has featured in every important exhibition on Viennese Modernism, only sections of his oeuvre have been analyzed in full. To mark this year’s anniversary the exhibition’s team of curators—Matthias Boeckl, Rainald Franz, and Christian Witt-Dörring—set themselves the task of closing the gaps that still exist in the research by using at times unknown sources and by updating his catalogue raisonné.

  • The Imperial Condition of Photography in Palestine: Archives, Looting, and the Figure of the Infiltrator
    The Imperial Condition of Photography in Palestine: Archives, Looting, and the Figure of the Infiltrator ARIELLA AZOULAY In front of many cameras and representatives of the international community that surround him, unexpectedly, and outside of any protocol that was prepared for this occasion, an elderly Palestinian man dares to stop, to withdraw his consent to leave his home and ceases to move. This old man is my companion in exploring the archives and attempt- ing to understand its implication in the invention of the figure of “infiltrator.” Together, we refrain from studying his figure, as defined by the nation-state­ that forced him out of his home. Halting precisely where many cameras were present, this person threatens to spoil the orchestrated spectacle of Arabs “leaving of their will.” Together, we study the linkage between the expulsion of several hundred thousands of Palestinians and the looting of a vast treasure of books, documents, and photographs from Palestinians in 1948 and their transformation into “abandoned files” in the newly constructed Israeli archives at the same time. The article proposes to relate to the ongoing looting of archives not merely as a violation of Palestinian property and rights, but rather as a continuous performance of national sov- ereignty. Sovereignty is performed as the continued project of partition of populations into distinct, differentiated groups, whereby violence among the two groups is both the pretext and the effect.

  • Century British Photography and the Case of Walter Benington by Robert William Crow
    Reputations made and lost: the writing of histories of early twentieth- century British photography and the case of Walter Benington by Robert William Crow A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Technology January 2015 Abstract Walter Benington (1872-1936) was a major British photographer, a member of the Linked Ring and a colleague of international figures such as F H Evans, Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen and Alvin Langdon Coburn. He was also a noted portrait photographer whose sitters included Albert Einstein, Dame Ellen Terry, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and many others. He is, however, rarely noted in current histories of photography. Beaumont Newhall’s 1937 exhibition Photography 1839-1937 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York is regarded by many respected critics as one of the foundation-stones of the writing of the history of photography. To establish photography as modern art, Newhall believed it was necessary to create a direct link between the master-works of the earliest photographers and the photographic work of his modernist contemporaries in the USA. He argued that any work which demonstrated intervention by the photographer such as the use of soft-focus lenses was a deviation from the direct path of photographic progress and must therefore be eliminated from the history of photography. A consequence of this was that he rejected much British photography as being “unphotographic” and dangerously irrelevant. Newhall’s writings inspired many other historians and have helped to perpetuate the neglect of an important period of British photography.

How this was complished is shown with three examples of careers of famous mathematicians. 1 Introduction This symposium is dedicated to the development of mathematics in the Austro- Hungarian monarchy in the time from 1850 to 1914. At the beginning of this period, in the middle of the 19th century the level of teaching and researching mathematics was very low – with a few exceptions – due to the influence of the jesuits in former centuries, and due to the reclusive period in the first half of the 19th century. But even in this time many efforts were taken to establish a higher education.
