The Photographic UncannyPhotography, Homelessness, and Homesickness
This book argues for a renewed understanding of the fundamentally uncanny quality of the medium of photography. It especially makes the case for the capacity of certain photographs—precisely through their uncanniness—to contest structures of political and social dominance. The uncanny as a quality that unsettles the perception of home emerges as a symptom of modern and contemporary society …

Through the restorative properties of photography, it re-conceptualises the cultural significance of non-place. The non-place is often referred to as "wasteland", and is usually avoided.

Crime Scenery in Postwar Film and Photography
This book offers a rare and innovative consideration of an enduring tendency in postwar art to explore places devoid of human agents in the wake of violent encounters. To see the scenery together with the crime elicits a double interrogation, not merely of a physical site but also of its formation as an aesthetic artefact, and ultimately of our own acts of looking and imagining. Closely engagin…

Zeigen und/oder Beweisen?Die Fotografie als Kulturtechnik und Medium des Wissens
Die Frage, ob die Fotografie zu zeigen und/oder zu beweisen vermag, geht auf Carlo Ginzburg zurück. Im Nachhall seiner Auseinandersetzung mit dem Indizienparadigma als konstitutiver Methode der Kulturwissenschaften führte dieser 1982 aus, dass die Untersuchung der Verbindung von wissenschaftlichen und gerichtlichen Beweisen von Interesse ist – gerade in Hinblick auf die in den Wissenschafte…
