WiSe 18/19: Images of Slavery
Sebastian Jobs
Comments
The history of slavery still resonates in North American society today - and so do the images of slavery. In this class we will explore various media and genres of depicting slavery and its main actors. Through pictorial sources and theoretical readings we will explore how images themselves gained a performative quality beyond simply depicting reality - adding another visual register to the field of power. Thus it will become clear that images were used by both proponents and opponents of slavery. Furthermore, we will discuss the various ways in which pictures can be used as materials of historical research. close
