The type and the gaze: racial photography as scientific evidence, 1876 -- 1918 -- Racial photographs from icons to schemes: the "case" of Central and Eastern European Jews, 1880 -- 1927 -- Serialization as construction of meaning: the photographic practice of Hans F.K. Günther in context -- Racial photographs as "thought experiments": the photographic method of Ludwig Ferdinand Clauss -- Racial photography in Palestine.
Summary: 'Race and Photography' studies the changing function of photography from the 1870s to the 1940s within the field of the 'science of race', what many today consider the paradigm of pseudo-science.
