More than 30 years after the creation of the Internet, and following a reflection on modern connected digital devices, this photographic work was part of a larger online multimedia project and tried to tackle new opportunities for photographical practices.Using the increasingly potent cameras of mobile phones, the Bootymachine would let the photographer take a picture from his pocket, wherever and whenever, that would then go through computational techniques to modify and stylize its texture. The system would then publish it on an online web-based platform for it to be accessible to all.

This book retells the history of Israeli film in the 1960s and 1970s in sex scenes. Through close readings of the first sex scenes in mainstream Israeli movies from this period, it explores the cultural and social contexts in which these movies were made. More specifically, it discusses how notions of collective identity, individual agency, and the public and private spheres are inscribed into and negotiated in sex scenes, especially in light of the historical events that marked these decades. This study thus pushes away from the traditional academic perception of Israeli film and opens up new ways of understanding how it has developed in recent decades. It draws on a growing international body of academic literature on the cinematic representation of sex in order to illuminate the particularities of the Israeli context in the 1960s and 1970s. Apart from film scholars and scholars of Israeli film, this study also addresses readers interested in Israeli cultural history more broadly.

Das fotografische Wandbild, das sogenannte photomural, wurde in den USA der 1930er-­Jahre zu einem Inbegriff nationaler Kunst und dabei als Gegenentwurf zum mexikanischen Muralismus positioniert. Johanna Spanke untersucht erstmals, inwiefern der Aufstieg des photomural als das Resultat eines Aushandlungsprozesses zwischen Mexiko und den USA begrif­fen werden kann, bei dem nicht nur nationale Identitätskonstruktionen und Modernitätsdiskurse eine Rolle spielen, sondern auch eine Medienkonkurrenz verhandelt wird. Der Band leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zu verflechtungs­geschichtlichen Perspektiven auf die US-­amerikanische Kunstgeschichte, der intermediale und transnationale Aushandlungen, aber auch Gender­ Aspekte zentral in den Vordergrund rückt.
