La fotografía vista desde su definición clásica, es concebida como un procedimiento de registro, una técnica para capturar imágenes que permiten la reproducción y la multiplicación. De esta forma, nos topamos con conceptos ligados a las nociones convencionales del espacio y la objetividad, que desde siempre prevalecieron a la hora de hablar de la imagen fotográfica. Pero a su vez, estas ideas se contraponen con las de las imágenes que tienen una pretensión artística, es decir, cuando cuestionan esas funciones históricas e intervienen el carácter contingente de la imagen y el productor de ellas. Esta ruptura con aquellas prácticas, este desnivel, conlleva efectos energéticos; nace una dinámica nueva, que se esclarece con un enfoque no tanto histórico como analítico, que es tratado en este texto con lucidez y profundidad.

The Feuerwehr (German: fire defence) is a number of German fire departments. The responsible bodies for operating and equipping fire departments are the German communities ("Gemeinden") and cities ("Stadte"). By law, they are required to operate fire-fighting forces. In cities, this is usually performed by the Fire Prevention Bureau, one of the higher-ranking authorities. There are three kinds of firefighters in Germany: the predominant number of Germany's 1,383,730 firefighters are members of voluntary fire brigades (Freiwillige Feuerwehr), a lesser number are working in professional fire brigades and the smallest are the drafted members of a Compulsory Fire Service (Pflichtfeuerwehr), established just in a few places nationwide. Here we look at some of their flashy vehicles. We hope you will enjoy our selection of photos.

A new ecological approach to images by a renowned philosopher

Viewed from over seven decades later the Isle of Wight at the start of the 1950s might at first glance appear to have been experiencing a golden age of railways A real life Island of Sodor where Victorian steam locomotives crisscrossed the Island from Cowes in the north to Ventnor in the south and from Freshwater in the west to Bembridge in the east Even the smallest of villages could claim its own station and the only cloud on the horizon was generated by the passing of a nearby train Or was it The truth of course was rather different From as early as 1950 over a decade before Beeching rumours abounded that the entire network might be at risk of closure In the event the loss of the Ventnor West branch in 1952 would be the first of several routes to be axed over the next few years with around two thirds of the Island s network having closed by the end of the decade Further closures would of course follow in the 1960s In the meantime the pages of the Isle of Wight County Press abounded with proposals for how the Island s antiquated railways could be saved revitalised and modernized all of them doomed to failure and one so bizarre it was described as like something from H G Wells In this book the author provides an overview of the Isle of Wigh
