Given the easy access to the photographic practice and the easy ways of digital dissemination of its visual products, there seems to be an unprecedented visibility of the relationship between photography and society.The 2018 seminar focuses on the circulation of images, the pervasive practice of taking pictures, and the socio-analytical and sociocritical potential of photographs from current as well as historical perspectives in order to identify continuities and discontinuities in these areas. The five-day event will provide 15 PhD candidates and Post-Docs with an opportunity to present their research, with seminars, discussion panels, visits to eminent collections, exchange with curators as well as an artist talk.With Aida Bosch (Institut für Soziologie, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg),Florian Ebner (Chef de service, Cabinet de la photographie, Centre national d’art et de culture Georges-Pompidou, Paris),André Gunthert (Maître de conférences, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris),Andréa Holzherr (Global Exhibitions Manager Magnum Photos, Paris),Hubert Locher (Kunstgeschichtliches Institut, Philipps-Universität Marburg/Deutsches Dokumentationszentrum für Kunstgeschichte – Bildarchiv Foto Marburg),Jens Ruchatz (Institut für Medienwissenschaft, Philipps-Universität Marburg)and Erik Kessels.We welcome applications by any PhD candidates and Post-Docs working on this subject.  Applications should include a research summary (up to 3,000 characters) as well as a CV and should be submitted to scheuer@fotomarburg.de by April 15, 2018.The conference languages are German and English.
