| Summary: | The 'pictorial turn' has had significant impact on the human, cultural, religious and social sciences since the middle of the 1990s; theory construction has been primarily oriented towards the western world. This is why one of the primary aims of this volume is the enlargement of theory construction by a different point of view - the Balkan and the Near Eastern one. The central research question of the thesis is that photography opened the door to the visual culture of the West. Der pictorial turn, der seit der Mitte der 1990er Jahre die Geistes-, Kultur-, Religions- und Sozialwissenschaften beeinflusst, hat in seiner Theoriebildung bislang eine primär auf die westliche Welt bezogene Perspektive eingenommen. Es ist eines der Ziele des Buchs, die Theoriebildung aus einem anderen Blickwinkel - dem des Balkans und des Nahen Ostens - zu erweitern. Eine zentrale These lautet, dass die Fotografie das Tor zur visuellen Kultur des Westens öffnete. |
