Abstract

"Sich mit Briefmarken zu befassen, sie zu sammeln, zu sichten und zu besprechen, gilt auch heute noch als eines der Standardbeispiele für das, was im alltäglichen Sprachgebrauch als Hobby bezeichnet wird. Den Status einer anerkannten Hilfswissenschaft der Geschichtswissenschaft hat die Philatelie, im Gegensatz zur Numismatik oder Heraldik, nie erreicht. Und obgleich mehrere Turns der Wissenschaftslandschaft diese doch hätten erfassen müssen, man denke etwa an den Iconic Turn, den Material Turn oder auch die entstehende Visual History, blieb die Philatelie und insbesondere die Briefmarke und deren Wert für die Geschichtswissenschaft bis heute nahezu unbeleuchtet. Der vorliegende Band versucht, dies zu ändern und führt in exemplarischen Analysen vor, wovon diese Kommunikationsmittel Zeugnis ablegen."

Abstract

The artistic work, understood as a concept and a tangible object in any of its multiple technical and aesthetic categories, stands as an invaluable source of information, not only because of its intrinsic values, such as its formal characteristics, style or by whom it was created, among others. , but also for its ability to represent and make visible aspects of daily life, symbols of civil and religious power, beliefs, devotions and rites, historical events, social elements, feelings or connections between various plastic manifestations, transcending the limits of the merely artistic. until it becomes an object or artifact that encapsulates and preserves the culture, thought and concerns of a given time and a specific geographical space. This volume is made up of twenty-two papers by specialists participating in the Visual History and Culture Symposium, as well as others who have kindly accepted our invitation to share their studies. In the same way that the contributions collected are bidirectional between the New World and the Old Continent, their authors come from academic, cultural institutions and research centers located in the American and European space, making the relevance of these topics visible today through international level.

Abstract

"In Cold War historiography, the 1960s are often described as a decade of mounting diplomatic tensions and international social unrest. At the same time, they were a period of global media revolution: communication satellites compressed time and space, television spread around the world, and images circulated through print media in expanding ways. Examining how U.S. policymakers exploited these changes, this book offers groundbreaking international research which shows that U.S. power came to depend more and more not on military superiority or economic strength alone, but also on America's ability to create appealing pictures that assured recognition of its global leadership"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Holocaust Memory in the Digital Age explores the nexus of new media and memory practices, raising questions about how advances in digital technologies continue to influence the nature of Holocaust memorialization. Through an in-depth study of the largest and most widely available collection of videotaped interviews with survivors and other witnesses to the Holocaust, the University of Southern California Shoah Foundation's Visual History Archive, Jeffrey Shandler weighs the possibilities and challenges brought about by digital forms of public memory. The Visual History Archive's holdings are extensive—over 100,000 hours of video, including interviews with over 50,000 individuals—and came about at a time of heightened anxiety about the imminent passing of the generation of Holocaust survivors and other eyewitnesses. Now, the Shoah Foundation's investment in new digital media is instrumental to its commitment to remembering the Holocaust both as a subject of historical importance in its own right and as a paradigmatic moral exhortation against intolerance. Shandler not only considers the Archive as a whole, but also looks closely at individual survivors' stories, focusing on narrative, language, and spectacle to understand how Holocaust remembrance is mediated.

Abstract

Mit Bildern die Komplexität geschichtlicher Zeit reflektieren, fotografieren, zeichnen: Dies ist eine wenig beachtete, aber höchst produktive Dimension im Schaffen des Bielefelder Historikers Reinhart Koselleck. Damit wertete er die bildliche Dimension der Geschichte und ihrer Erforschung auf, lange bevor von einem »Iconic Turn« die Rede war. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes setzen sich umfassend mit Kosellecks Bildpraxis auseinander und verbinden sie mit seinen Forschungen zur Begriffsgeschichte, Historik, Erinnerung und körperlich-sinnlichen Wahrnehmung des Politischen. Die Ergebnisse des Bandes dokumentieren zudem das Projekt des forschenden Ausstellens und gehen in weiten Teilen auf eine Ausstellung zurück, die 2018 an drei Orten in Bielefeld gezeigt wurde. Besprochen in: Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 23.04.2021, Peter Geimer https://clionauta.hypotheses.org, 21.06.2021 H-Soz-u-Kult, 17.08.2021, Ulrike Jureit

Abstract

This book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by the European Research Council. Asking what does foreign occupation look like and how does occupation shape visual expression and cultures, this edited collection explores how the occupied and occupiers have responded to their circumstances through visual culture. Contributors study specific cases of foreign occupation from around the world and across the 20th century, discussing the similarities, links and points of contact which bring disparate examples of occupation into dialogue with one another. The intention is to illustrate how an emphasis on ‘the visual’ can help inform our understanding of occupation more broadly. Comprised of 12 core chapters and structured around 4 methodological and conceptual themes, this book adopts a consciously transcultural approach through which contributors examine the influence of specific cases, memories and legacies of occupation. Spanning Europe, Asia, the Middle East and elsewhere, the chapters also engage in a wider dialogue to reveal commonalities and points of comparison across political and temporal boundaries.
