‘Infinite License’ | Omer Bartov The memory of the Holocaust has, perversely, been enlisted to justify both the eradication of Gaza and the extraordinary silence with which that violence has been met.

Getting started at the Image Center in Toronto for three great days about Encoding the Image: How does AI affect the Future of Photo History? More info here: theimagecentre.ca/symposium/im...

Une lecture recommandée: le dernier livre d'Omar El Akkad.

Bibliothèque numérique de l'INHA Monuments de l\'exposition Vice-Royale Egyptienne : Temple, Salamlik, Okel

Right here bibliotheque-numerique.inha.fr/viewer/75052.... Several pictures in this album.

We have restored one and, in the process, we think we have identified the sturdy guy holding the plans of the fake Egyptian temple: Mariette Pacha himself.

Look what I just bought for my lab @echelles-umr8264.bsky.social: pristine stereoscope loaded with views of the 1867 Paris universal exhibition! Part of a project with the EM+ lab (EPFL). Here a view of the American section when the US gov (a long time ago) was trying to make friends with Europe.

Heureux d'annoncer la publication (14/03) de Passés contestés et présents numériques (Le Bord de l'Eau) avec J. Schuh pour la coll. UDPN dirigée par M. Beugnet et B. Bohet. On y explore la digitalisation des traces photographiques des histoires meurtries. On l'a voulu très accessible. Bonne lecture!

Looking forward to participating in this great event organised by Thierry Gervais at the Image Centre Toronto (March 31-April 2) theimagecentre.ca/symposium/im...

The High Vision ANR project is now live (highvision.hypotheses.org). It is an interdisciplinary project (history/archives/computer vision) that seeks to explore little-document photo collections of very early news image agencies. We are hiring a postdoc, check it out emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...

It was great working with you, all the authors and the History of Photography team. We made it!

Rare early views of Hawaii (1860s, probably/mostly H. Chase studio) from Charles de Varigny's own albums (in private hands with his diaries). De Varigny befriended King Kamehameha V and became Hawaii's Minister for Foreign Affairs (1865). Hopelessly hoping for enough research time to work on it...

Photographic coverage of the Shar al-Shatt massacre and its aftermath: Circulation of the most widely distributed photograph by each of the 3 leading agencies. Rights: Pierre Schill

Another release from the History of Photography special issue co-edited with Sean Willcock. Pierre Schill's take on the global circulations of photos of the Shar al-Shatt massacre (Oct. 1911, Tripoli). A timely piece on wars of images in colonial contexts. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Great contribution to the forthcoming special issue of the HoP journal on grievous images. Looking forward to the full release (shortly), including a reflexive QandA with the authors (Pierre Schill, Susie Protschky, Nancy Rushorora, Alexander Fattal and Andrés Caicedo Sierra, and Elissa Mailänder).

If you are interested in the history of photography and do not know about Photographica, you should! Last issue on decentered histories of early photo with great authors (Olubukola Gbadegesin, Ece Zerman and many others). Free access here: journals.openedition.org/photographica/
