Descrizione:This article examines the thought of German sociologist and cultural critic Siegfried Kracauer, focusing on his reflections on the ontology and epistemology of historiography and photography. Kracauer argues that both disciplines are deeply interrelated due to their connection with reality and truth, and he suggests that they belong to a realm of knowledge that he calls “ anteroom thinking” The article is organized into four main sections: an introduction to Kracauer’s work and his relationship with the thinkers of the Frankfurt School, in the context of the centenary of its founding; an examination of the structure of reality as explored by historiography and photography; a discussion of Kracauer’s thesis that positions photography and historiography between the realistic and the formative; and, finally, a reflection on understanding these disciplines as forms of “ anteroom thinking”.
