{"product_id":"leni-riefenstahl-die-nuba-1976","title":"Die Nuba — Riefenstahl’s Ritual Eye","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"108\" data-end=\"655\"\u003eThis book by Leni Riefenstahl, \u003cem data-start=\"139\" data-end=\"149\"\u003eDie Nuba\u003c\/em\u003e, published in this 2002 reprint by Komet Verlag, is part of the Darwin Bookshop because it remains one of the most visually charged — and ethically fraught — documents in 20th-century photographic history. First released in the 1970s, \u003cem data-start=\"385\" data-end=\"395\"\u003eDie Nuba\u003c\/em\u003e is the result of Riefenstahl’s extensive visits to the Nuba peoples of southern Sudan, where she produced a highly stylised and choreographed photographic record of ritual, body painting, wrestling, and masculinity, rendered in rich colour and idealised form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"657\" data-end=\"1293\"\u003eThe book is saturated with tension: between ethnography and performance, admiration and appropriation. Riefenstahl — best known for her cinematic propaganda under the Third Reich — brought the same aesthetic of physical perfection and mythic composition to these images, which critics have long debated as both a celebration of beauty and an extension of fascist visual logic. In \u003cem data-start=\"1037\" data-end=\"1047\"\u003eDie Nuba\u003c\/em\u003e, bodies are offered up not as individuals, but as archetypes — framed by the sun, the sand, the gaze of the outsider. It is a troubling and essential object for anyone tracking the intersections of image, race, power, and the politics of seeing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1295\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1295\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003eTechnical Sheet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1316\" data-end=\"1706\"\u003eTitle: Die Nuba\u003cbr data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1334\"\u003eArtist \/ Author: Leni Riefenstahl\u003cbr data-start=\"1367\" data-end=\"1370\"\u003eDate: Originally 1976; this edition 2002\u003cbr data-start=\"1410\" data-end=\"1413\"\u003eTechnique \/ Printing Method: Colour offset printing\u003cbr data-start=\"1464\" data-end=\"1467\"\u003eMedium \/ Materials: Hardcover\u003cbr data-start=\"1496\" data-end=\"1499\"\u003eDimensions: Approx. 24 x 32 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1529\" data-end=\"1532\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003ePages: Unspecified\u003cbr data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"1553\"\u003ePublisher \/ Editor: Komet Verlag (originally Riefenstahl Produktion)\u003cbr data-start=\"1621\" data-end=\"1624\"\u003eISBN: 3-933366-41-0\u003cbr data-start=\"1643\" data-end=\"1646\"\u003eLanguage: German\u003cbr data-start=\"1662\" data-end=\"1665\"\u003eCondition: Good (based on visible wear)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DaRWIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51758397522258,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7058\/0818\/files\/TODWEBB_copy_1_61907c60-8a19-431e-bc49-ae43f664b3bc.jpg?v=1768386280","url":"https:\/\/thedarwin.es\/products\/leni-riefenstahl-die-nuba-1976","provider":"DaRWIN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
