Abstract (en)

Compares photographic montages by Kraus and Tucholsky, published in the magazines Die Fackel and Die Letzten Tage der Menschheit and other journals. Using Barthes's semiotic analysis of press photography as a methodological framework, studies the works and finds that although Tucholsky recognized the political potential of photography, it was only later, in cooperation with John Heartfield, that the satire of his work came close to the piercing ideological criticism that Kraus achieved.
