A
history of visual expressions of antisemitism, emotions and morality
A joint research
project by the Leo Baeck Institute London and the Fritz Bauer Institut
Frankfurt
This project,
using Germany as an example, is intended to clarify how the connections
between emotion, morality, visual language and antisemitism work.
It will cover the Kaiserreich, the Weimar Republic, the Nazi era
and the Federal Republic of Germany, and investigate visual products
such as postcards, films and TV productions.
The project
will enable us to develop criteria for discussing the emotional
impact of visual representation. This is a crucial question today
as visual media - in particular the internet - have become ubiquitous.
