Keine Kommentare

We invite scholars who are using historical photographs in their research on gender, sexuality, and space to gather and present their papers at the Visual History Now Conference. Much like historical texts, historical photographs need particular tools, competences, and methods for analysis to unfold their making, uses, and reception. And just like texts, photographs can […]

„24 Hours in Cyberspace“

Schrift und Grafik einer Erdkugel mit einem Negativstreifen darum
150 Fotojournalist:innen auf der ganzen Welt dokumentierten am 8. Februar 1996 „24 Hours in Cyberspace“. Der 8. Februar besaß als Datum keine besondere Bedeutung. Vielmehr ging es den Initiator:innen des Projekts darum, einen „ordinary day“ zu zeigen. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war die erste öffentliche Webseite der Welt noch keine fünf Jahre alt.

Gender Battles in Women’s Comics of the Second-Wave Feminist Era

Farbige Zeichnung von mehreren Frauen bei einem Befreiungsmarsch; oben Schrift
In this political and cultural context, as women challenged patriarchal relations within social movement organizations, or seceded from them to form women-only groups, women artists turned to the comic form as a new vehicle for self-expression.

Customs and Declarations: Research Strategies for Uncovering the Hidden History of a Black Woman Photographer

Links: Porträtfoto einer jungen Frau; rechts: Text
For those of us engaged in photographic histories concurrent with the nineteenth century development of the technology of photography, there is a notable lacuna in our awareness of the contributions made by Black women. For this article, I would like to present the process of my becoming aware of the work of Charlotte Paige Carroll, an African American woman photographer active in Chicago during the 1920s-1940s.

Gendered Bodies on Soviet Posters, 1917-1924

In this essay, I explore the visual representation of women's backwardness in the Soviet Revolution. I ask how early Soviet artists conveyed this backwardness – especially as synonymous not only with ignorance, but also with “darkness” and a lack of revolutionary consciousness. How did they compose posters for the masses in those early years of Soviet power, especially during the extensive civil and national wars of 1917-1921? How and why was gender such an important part of that visual imagery?

Ambiguous Representations of Gender in Late Eighteenth- and Early Nineteenth-Century Illustrations in German Children’s Literature

Ein Mädchen mit roter Kappe trifft auf einen Wolf; rechts Text.
My analysis of ambivalent representations of gender and sexuality in children’s book illustrations centers on publications for middle-class German readers between 1776 and 1845 – a somewhat overlooked yet foundational milieu of modern children’s literature. I have found that these images at times invoke hegemonic ideas about gender while at others deviate from those norms – occasionally even within the same text.

Putting Images to Work – Gender and the Visual Archive

Keine Kommentare
Cover eines Buchs von 1905: Eine junge Frau kümmert sich um eine alte Frau; oben Schrift
  Putting Images to Work: Constructing, Complicating and Subverting Gender As cultural products, images are infused with notions of gender – notions, which are, of course, specific to the times and places in which these images originate. For gender historians, they are fascinating artefacts, but often also frustratingly difficult to interpret. This dossier presents the […]
