Libros de Historia y crítica de la fotografía, página 29 de 302

Los coches de policía suelen ser muy visibles en nuestras ciudades, pueblos y carreteras lo que demuestra el importante papel de la policía en nuestra sociedad. A los niños les entusiasma verlos pasar por las calles con sus colores y sirenas llamativas. La funcion de la policia es hacer respetar la ley, garantizar la seguridad, la salud y las posesiones de los ciudadanos. Tambien previene el crimen y el desorden civil. La aplicacion de la ley es tan antigua como la sociedad humana y la propia promulgacion de leyes. En la antigua China, Babilonia y Egipto existian organos especiales encargados de hacer cumplir la ley. Alemania esta dividida en dieciseis unidades politicas. Si comparamos este libro, con nuestro otro libro sobre coches de policia estadounidenses, ambos muestran dos estilos bastante diferentes entre los dos paises. Esperamos que disfruten de nuestra seleccion de fotografias.

El viejo sueño de la nación estuvo cargado de contradicciones para muchos artistas e intelectuales de la década de 1950. El eje del mundo analiza un excepcional esfuerzo por encontrar una solución cultural a la tension geopolitica del momento tal como se desarrollo en tres ambiciosos proyectos fotograficos: la exposicion The Family of Man; el influyente libro de Robert Frank, Los americanos; y el registro tipologico de la arquitectura industrial de Bernd y Hilla Becher. Cada uno de estos proyectos se esforzaria en liberar el sueño de la nacion de sus viejas limitaciones por medio de la fotografia. La novedad de la forma serial fotografica abriria nuevas posibilidades para la forma social, a la vez que el deseo moderno de pertenencia politica se volveria mas cosmopolita y ''humanamente'' globalizado. El tono epico de este objetivo duro poco, pero sirve al autor para analizar el papel que ha jugado la fotografia en nuestra vida politica contemporanea y para abogar por una subjetividad politicamente comprometida en nuestra era global.

Como en aquella primera edición, en estas V Jornadas el tema de trabajo se ha centrado de nuevo en los primeros cien años de la fotografía, desde 1839 a 1939. Teniendo como límites cronológicos las fechas de 1839 (divulgacion publica del invento del daguerrotipo) y 1939 (fin de la guerra civil española), sin establecer otros condicionantes tematicos. Sigue siendo el deseo de la organizacion, tanto en la presente edicion como lo ha sido en las precedentes, el contar con la participacion prioritaria de historiadores de la fotografia, pero tambien de expertos y coleccionistas, conservadores de material fotografico, documentalistas y periodistas culturales especializados. Asimismo, las Jornadas estan dirigidas no solo al ambito academico y universitario (estudiantes, investigadores, profesores, etcetera), sino tambien hacia todos aquellos profesionales (archiveros, conservadores de colecciones, museos, etcetera) vinculados al mundo del patrimonio fotografico y tambien al cada vez mas numeroso publico de aficionados y amantes de la fotografia.

Police cars are usually very visible in our society, advertising the important role of police and much loved by children. The role of the police is to enforce the law, to ensure the safety, health, and possessions of citizens, and to prevent crime and civil disorder. Law enforcement is as old as human society and the giving of laws itself. In ancient China, Babylon and Egypt there were special law enforcement bodies. The authors have made a similar book on American police cars and the styles are quite different between the two countries. We hope you will enjoy our selection of photos.

Polizeiautos sind in unserer Gesellschaft meist sehr sichtbar, machen auf die wichtige Rolle der Polizei aufmerksam und sind bei Kindern beliebt. Die Aufgabe der Polizei besteht darin, das Gesetz durchzusetzen, die Sicherheit, Gesundheit und das Eigentum der Burger zu gewahrleisten und Kriminalitat und Unruhen zu verhindern. Die Strafverfolgung ist so alt wie die menschliche Gesellschaft und der Erlass von Gesetzen selbst. Im alten China, Babylon und Agypten gab es spezielle Strafverfolgungsbehorden. Die Autoren haben ein ahnliches Buch uber amerikanische Polizeiautos geschrieben, und die Stile sind in den beiden Landern sehr unterschiedlich. Wir hoffen, dass Ihnen unsere Auswahl an Fotos gefallt.
