Abstract (English)

Flusser's philosophical analysis of photography focuses on the structural changes in civilization brought on by the passage from an industrial, text-based culture to a post-industrial image-based one. Questions concerning photographic criticism, the "apparatus/photographer" complex, and the quantum structure of the "camera program" are discussed in relation to the linear time of history and the circular time of magic. Includes lexicon of basic concepts. Biographical notes.
