This article explores how Swiss writer and photographer Annemarie Schwarzenbach (1908–1942), used photography, both as author and subject, to define a new identity and build a new visibility for women. It begins by exploring the shared poetics that drew women’s artistic activities towards photography at the turn of the twentieth century. At that time, photography was a medium of choice for women seeking to reclaim their bodies and subtract them from the male gaze. It also provided women with an expression of identity, gender achievement and gendered negotiation. The article analyzes Schwarzenbach’s photographic practice as a distinctive and complex case study within this context. A well-educated and wealthy young woman, Schwarzenbach embodied the image of the emancipated and independent new woman, both in her life and professional choices, bravely embarking on dangerous and difficult journeys, writing articles and taking photographs of far-away, diverse and suffering people. Nevertheless, it was only when she moved to the other side of the camera and became the subject of portraits taken by her female friends and partners that Schwarzenbach became the first-hand witness and icon of a new search for gender visibility. Her fashion choices and her own body expressed and codified a sophisticated lesbian chic style.

女性摄影师和女性身份：Annemarie Schwarzenbach，New Dandy 和 Lesbian Chic 偶像

本文探讨了瑞士作家兼摄影师安妮玛丽·施瓦岑巴赫 (Annemarie Schwarzenbach，1908-1942 年) 如何使用摄影作为作者和主题来定义新身份并为女性建立新的知名度。它首先探索了在 20 世纪之交将女性艺术活动吸引到摄影领域的共同诗意。在那个时候，摄影是寻求恢复自己身体并从男性凝视中减去自己的女性的首选媒介。它还为女性提供了一种表达身份、性别成就和性别谈判的机会。本文将施瓦岑巴赫的摄影实践分析为这种背景下独特而复杂的案例研究。施瓦岑巴赫是一位受过良好教育且富有的年轻女性，在她的生活和职业选择中都体现了解放和独立的新女性形象，勇敢地踏上危险和艰难的旅程，写文章和拍摄遥远的、多样的和受苦的人。然而，只有当她搬到镜头的另一边并成为她的女性朋友和伴侣拍摄的肖像的主题时，施瓦岑巴赫才成为新的性别可见性探索的第一手见证人和偶像。她的时尚选择和她自己的身体表达并编纂了一种精致的女同性恋时尚风格。
