Lewis Hine Boeken

My illness may define the length of my life, but it won't define how I live it. My disability gave me the ability to understand and help others. And now I finally feel like I am living.17-year-old Lewis Hine is a global phenomenon. Diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumour and water on the brain at 17 months, he wasn't expected to survive. But Lewis proved everyone wrong; he's not only surviving but thriving. In one Facebook post on his 16th birthday Lewis invited everyone to see how he faces head on the challenges from his ongoing illness, and he went viral. 30 million views later, Lewis now spearheads a campaign, Friend Finder, to make sure no one ever faces childhood illness alone.In his memoir, Lewis reaches out to anyone who may feel isolated in their lives. After 13 brain surgeries and continual health problems, life for Lewis is a daily challenge. From the sheer physical challenges - he is at high risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) and has a pump in his brain just to keep him alive - to the horrendous bullying he's endured, he shares how he finds the strength to overcome all this and still lead a fun and fulfilling life. With a host of admirers around the world from Elton John to Kid Ink, Lewis is living his dream - even becoming Radio 1's Teen Hero of the Year. His story will make you laugh, cry and above all, feel inspired by life's endless possibilities, looking at the stars.

Lewis Hine's famous images of child laborers in America.

In 1936, science-teacher turned photographer Lewis Hine was commissioned by the National Research Project, a division of the Works Progress Administration, to produce a visual document of the industries that the US government hoped would provide the jobs that would lift the country out of the Great Depression. Hine, already well-established as a chronicler of social conditions of his day, produced more than 700 photographs for this project, the last major work of his career. By emphasizing the inherent tension between machinery and workers, Hine imbued these compelling images with his characteristic rigor and aesthetic appeal. These photographs, and their implied message, are particularly relevant today given high unemployment rates and radical shifts in the role of the worker in the rapidly changing world economy. Included in this book is an essay by the eminent photographic historian, Judith Mara Gutman, in which she discusses the project and the photographs in the context of the economic conditions of the time and the artistic and technological innovations of the era.

Der Fotograf, Lehrer und Soziologe Lewis W. Hine (1874–1940) prägte mit seinen Bildern unser Bildgedächtnis von der amerikanischen Arbeitswelt des frühen zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Als ethisch motivierter Sozialreformer wollte Hine, der für karitative, kommunale und staatliche Organisationen arbeitete, das Los der unterprivilegierten Klassen sichtbar machen. Seine Fotografien von Stahlarbeitern in Pittsburgh, Kinderarbeit in Baumwollspinnereien, Fabriken, Kohleminen und auf Feldern, sowie von Zeitungs- und Botenjungen, die oft erst vier Jahre alt waren, trugen entscheidend dazu bei, das amerikanische Bürgertum über die soziale Realität im Land aufzuklären. In seinen späteren Arbeiten änderte Hine seine Darstellungsweise und stellte die Arbeiter nicht mehr als Opfer dar, sondern inszenierte sie im Stil des sozialistischen Realismus als kräftige, freundliche und mutige, vor allem unpolitische Helden des Alltags. Hine verstarb 1940 in bitterer Armut. In diesem Band wird Hine mit einer repräsentativen Auswahl seiner Werke präsentiert, die Aufnahmen aus verschiedenen Tätigkeitsfeldern und Zeitperioden umfasst. Der Band enthält rund 350 Fotografien sowie einen Essay des Herausgebers, der in die Biografie und das fotografische Werk von Hine einführt.

Die Bilder sind berührend und bestürzend zugleich: Zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts dokumentierte der FotografLewis W. Hine das Leben von arbeitenden Kindern in den USA. Beauftragt von Amerikas erster Lobbyorganisation gegen Kinderarbeit, dem National Child Labor Committee, kämpfte er mit seiner Kamera als Waffe gegen die Ausbeutung der Kleinsten und Schwächsten, die, ihren Arbeitgebern schutzlos ausgeliefert, sowohl seelische als auch körperliche Verletzungen von ihrer Arbeit davontrugen.
