Momârlanii – urmaşii dacilor din Valea Jiului

•October 26, 2012 • Leave a Comment

Trecând prin Petroşani, oraş minier cu veleităţi turistice, nimic nu sugerează că în această zonă incă îşi duce veacul una dintre cele mai vechi comunităţi rurale din România. Din cauza exploatărilor miniere începute în 1840 şi a dezvoltării urbanistice determinate de acestea, majoritatea momârlanilor au fost nevoiţi fie să se adapteze noului stil de viaţă, fie să îşi retragă gospodăriile spre dealuri.

Besides presenting Barthes’ ideology, I will mention and debate the work of renowned practitioners who had to deal with the taming society or who tended to temper photography. In this respect, I have chosen to discuss the work of August Sander, German photographer, who published the portrait series named “Man of the 20th Century”, and the work of Richard Billingham, the author of the family photographs series “Ray’s a Laugh”.
