| Title | Zionism in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction: Photojournalism Designs a National Self-Image for Hungarian Jewry, 1933-44 |
| Summary | This is a study of photography and its designing of a national self-image, using Zionism as an example. Photojournalism evolved worldwidely during the interwar period, including the British Mandate Palestine, where the Orient Press Photo (OPP) was established in 1933. OPP was in charge of (re)producing and distributing the photographs from Eretz Yisrael for the Jews in Diaspora to publicize the image of Jewish National Home, which was then under rapid construction both in material and ideological terms. I study the press prints of OPP, and how they were published in the community of Jewish Diaspora in Hungary, using Múlt és Jövő as a primary source. To the best of my knowledge, there is no single research done to compare the press prints and their publication in Diaspora. I use both theoretical and historical methods to conduct this research. |
