Antisemitische Symbole in Kunstobjekten, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

How do anti-Semitic worldviews become manifest in works of art? What impact does their manipulative visual power have in cultural struggles up to the present day? These questions are more pressing than ever, considering anti-Semitism's worldwide resurgence, which was also evident at documenta fifteen. The contributions in this volume reveal how anti-Semitism operates as a visual code, sometimes in a striking and sometimes in a subversive manner. They analyse motifs of traditional Christian anti-Judaism, nationalist and anti-capitalist anti-Semitic imagery, and the interactions of anti-Semitic and colonialist cultural techniques. In addition, the publication offers insights into Nazi provenance research and suggests curatorial strategies for dealing with anti-Semitic sources and object.

• New image-historical and critical research on anti-Semitic codes
• Social, political, and economic contextualisation of anti-Semitic cultural techniques
