I. Aitken
This chapter is a close analysis of Kracauer’s 1927 essay ‘Photography’. In this essay, Kracauer regards photography as contributing towards the pervasive alienation within modernity, and he contrasts the photographic image with the ‘memory image, which contains substantial value. Nevertheless, the alienating photographic image can also reveal the nature of alienation, so has a positive potential. Kracauer also argues that the film image is less alienating than the photographic image because it can preserve more of the memory image
