PICTORIAL CULTURES AND POLITICAL ICONOGRAPHIES ...

The pictorial turn in the humanities and social sciences has foregrounded the political power
of images and the extent to which historical  political  social  and cultural processes and
practices are shaped visually. Political iconographies are taken to interpret norms of actions
support ideological formations  and enhance moral concepts. Visual rhetorics are understood as
active players in the construction and contestation of the political realm and public space.
The twenty-one articles by scholars from Europe and the United States explore the political
function and cultural impact of images from the perspectives of Art History  American Studies 
Visual Culture Studies  History  and Political Science. The contributions in particular address
the complex interplay between agent and addressee in the public space as well as issues of
national identity  discourses of inclusion and exclusion  and the designation of political
spaces within transnational contexts. The publication is part of the interdisciplinary research
initiative Perceiving and Understanding: Functions  Perception Processes  Forms of
Visualizations  Cultural Strategies of Pictures and Texts at the University of Regensburg.
