And the war entered homes: ninety years of propaganda and war photography (1855-1945)
Abstract
This research, built on rich graphic documentation, offers a study of the evolution of photography in wars that took place from the Crimean War to the Second World War. This evolution is approached within the use that this visual resource had in the materials published with propagandistic purposes during the respective conflicts, a subject that in recent years has been gaining considerable attention but without the necessary systematization. Thus, the main purpose of this contribution is to fill this gap detected and to provide with a series of digital resources future studies concerning a type of material characterised by its notable dispersion. To carry out this analysis, and provide it with the transnational character it requires, we have used documentation held in international institutions in Germany and France, as well as important digitised collections belonging to American, Spanish, and British research centres.Downloads
