War has a gender and it is male - this is how essayist and cultural scientist Susan Sontag stated her reflections on war photography and its relevance for the contemporary world. Today we observe wars and social conflicts from a distance: For a large part of the world population, the conditions in conflict areas are only accessible through images. Day after day we are distant viewers of the suffering of others through photographs. War representation works via so-called frames: photographs frame reality formally via angles, focus, aperture, etc. Those frames not only function as a formal limitation of the image, but also capture what is seen as well as assemble the complex process of the (politics of images) in which photographs are involved. On this basis, the question of how war photography is interwoven with ethical and (power) political processes arises. What is striking here is the often used gendered representation of war events and violence in photographs: Which bodies are represented and how? From which perspective are the bodies shown and viewed? Which (gender) patterns can be recognized in these representations? What gender assignments take place? Why do these patterns and attributions take place?
In a three-day block seminar, the students will address these discourses in a theoretical and practical-artistic approach under the direction of the artists Ignacia González Torres, María Giacaman and Miriam Bini Schmidt. The three artists worked together in the artistic research “Kriegsrahmen”, a German-Chilean production that premiered in May 2021 in Hanover as part of the Coming Out format of the University of Hildesheim, the Schauspiel Hannover and the TheaterHaus Hildesheim. “Kreigsrahmen” is nominated for both Festivals BestOff 2022 and Körber Studio Junge Regie 2022. Students will be required to read texts by authors such as Ariella Azoulay, Judith Butler, Karen Fromm, Susan Sontag among others. The texts are to be read before the seminar and will be shared together with further information via Email in advance. Please check your Emails! |
