Realität und Imagination : Photographie in W. G. Sebalds "Austerlitz" und Michelangelo Antonionis "Blow Up" (Volume 7)
About this book
Literature - photography - film. These media have not only changed human history, they have always told it. While Béla Balász wrote that the first literary texts were "in the fog of prehistoric times", we are aware of the birth of photography and film. The media comparative study "Reality and Imagination" deals with the representation and staging of photography in WG Sebald's novel Austerlitz (2001) and Michelangelo Antonioni's feature film Blow up (1966). How does the non-visual medium of literature, bound to writing and text, position itself as a visual medium? And how does the film, whose main characteristic is the constant flow of images, a still image medium? For the first time, both media, which have become canonical with regard to photography, are juxtaposed in the form of a comparison. After introducing phototheories from relevant authors such as Roland Barthes, Susan Sontag and Siegfried Kracauer, it is examined to what extent these theoretical determinations are functionally implemented and implemented or undermined by the photographic as real and at the same time spooky in Austerlitz and Blow Up.
