Drawing on a number of paradigmatic works of art, the book explores the motif of ‘gypsy’ child-theft and its visualisations. The analytical focus is on the colour coding of bodies in texts and images and their racialised/anti-gypsy uses. Offering a comprehensive survey of the motif’s adaptations to different visual media, the author elaborates on its multiple layers of meaning and functions. The analysis starts with a critical review of Cervantes’ tale “La gitanilla”, moving through seventeenth-century Dutch history painting to take a cursory look at nineteenth-century printed images, and end up with an annotated filmography of 49 cinematic works.

Bilder haben eine aktive bzw. generative Kraft und dienen als Waffe in politischen und militärischen Auseinandersetzungen. Gerhard Paul untersucht ihre wandelnde Bedeutung und ihre viel behauptete Macht am Beispiel von ausgewählten Einzelbildern, Bildsujets und Bildstrategien unterschiedlicher medialer Träger wie Plakat, Fotografie, Film und Internet. Die reich illustrierten Kapitel beschäftigen sich u. a. mit Medienikonen wie dem Mao-Porträt und der Fotografie des "Napalmmädchens", dem Bild des "Big Brother" als zentraler Chiffre des totalitären wie posttotalitären Zeitalters, den Bildakten vom Judenpogrom in Lemberg/Lviv 1941 und dem Bildterror im US-Gefängnis vom Abu Ghraib. Die exemplarischen Analysen gehen der Frage nach, wie diese Bilder Beziehungen zu ihren Betrachtern aufnehmen und synchron deren Sichtweisen bzw. diachron deren Verständnis von Geschichte prägen.

Das Handbuch greift aktuelle Diskussionen über Text-Bild-Verhältnisse, Intermedialität bzw. 'Literatur und die Künste' auf, rückt aber nicht mehr 'das Bild' ins Zentrum, sondern die visuelle Kultur generell. Es reagiert auf die Erweiterung des Bildbegriffs in den Visual Studies und die kulturwissenschaftliche Öffnung des Literaturbegriffs. Erstmalig werden theoretische Überlegungen und methodische Hilfestellungen zum Verhältnis von Literatur und visueller Kultur systematisch dargestellt und anhand von exemplarischen Untersuchungen konkretisiert.

David MacDougall is a pivotal figure in the development of ethnographic cinema and visual anthropology. As a filmmaker, he has directed in Africa, Australia, India, and Europe. His prize-winning films (many made jointly with his wife, Judith MacDougall) include The Wedding Camels, Lorang's Way, To Live with Herds, A Wife among Wives, Takeover, PhotoWallahs, and Tempus de Baristas. As a theorist, he articulates central issues in the relation of film to anthropology, and is one of the few documentary filmmakers who writes extensively on these concerns. The essays collected here address, for instance, the difference between films and written texts and between the position of the filmmaker and that of the anthropological writer.In fact, these works provide an overview of the history of visual anthropology, as well as commentaries on specific subjects, such as point-of-view and subjectivity, reflexivity, the use of subtitles, and the role of the cinema subject. Refreshingly free of jargon, each piece belongs very much to the tradition of the essay in its personal engagement with exploring difficult issues. The author ultimately disputes the view that ethnographic filmmaking is merely a visual form of anthropology, maintaining instead that it is a radical anthropological practice, which challenges many of the basic assumptions of the discipline of anthropology itself. Although influential among filmmakers and critics, some of these essays were published in small journals and have been until now difficult to find. The three longest pieces, including the title essay, are new.
