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.
