Found Images: the Tourist’s Gaze

How can ’found photography’ constitute a basis for social sciences? What knowledge can be gained from these documents? Are there generally formulated characteristics about the imagery patterns of a given period? What kind of user praxis characterized the slide-culture in a given touristic period? In the text the autor attempts to provide answers to the above mentioned questions through the analysis of slides collected from the market of Uránváros, the Big Market of Pécs and the Naschmarkt of Vienna.
