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

Keine Kommentare
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 […]

Rezension: Gerhard Paul, Die Bundesrepublik. Eine visuelle Geschichte

Keine Kommentare
Buchcover mit Schrift und ganz vielen bunten Aufklebern bzw. Ansteckern
  In der Einleitung bezeichnet Gerhard Paul etwas kokett die Bundesrepublik Deutschland als „alte Dame“, aus deren „Bilderschatz“ er ein „Album“ zusammengestellt habe (S. 15) – ist er doch selbst kaum jünger und somit ihre Geschichte mit der seinen nahezu deckungsgleich (Disclaimer: die des Rezensenten auch). Ganz in der Tradition mikrohistorischer Bildforschung stellt Paul fast […]

Video Essays in Rural History

Keine Kommentare
Ein Hund zieht einen Handwagen mit Milchkannen.

History is on everyone’s lips. Museums, commemorative events and autobiographies are more popular than ever. But historical findings deriving from scientific research hardly find their way into the media and contemporary political debates anymore. And historians who do take part in public debates are often reduced to their status as “experts of the past”.

While the reasons for these developments are complex, they are obviously also due to the fact that texts have lost a lot of their importance as forms of communication at the expense of images, especially moving images. When films become a dominant form of communication in the daily life of most people, historians cannot ignore the medium any longer when it comes to the communication of their insights.

The aim of the series Video Essays in Rural History is to communicate knowledge gained from historical research based on written and audio-visual sources in the form of video essays. It intends to stimulate interdisciplinary exchange and to encourage scholarly cross-fertilisation that is crucial for understanding the past and present of rural societies.
