Editorial Reviews Review

"Challenging and compelling."--Rudy Koshar, American Historical Review Review

"This historical account of the development of one of the most complex discussions of representation in its social and cultural context will be of great interest to a wide range of readers. The debates about visual representation -- whether in film or in the photograph -- were and are greatly influenced by Kracauer. Barnouw's situation of these debates is sophisticated and clever. The high point of the book is her discussion of the epistemological problem of the observer. She lucidly and succinctly presents Kracauer's own views on the topic and then moves into a broader and truly brilliant discussion of this question of literary and visual modernism."--Sander L. Gilman, University of Chicago Critical Realism : History, Photography, and the Work of Siegfried Kracauer (Parallax: Re-visions of Culture and Society)
