Begehbare Bilder

Begehbare Bilder: // „Ist die Moderne unsere Antike?“ Der moderne Themenpark ist beliebtes ‚Feindbild’ der Kulturkritik, die häufig verkennt, dass dessen Grundlagen gerade der Kultur entsprangen, die gegen ihn verteidigt werden soll. Die Analyse des modernen Themenparks zeigt, dass dessen wichtigsten Merkmale: Ästhetisierung, Simulation und Sensation schon in den repräsentativen Gärten des Barock angelegt und im Landschaftspark voll ausgebildet wurden. Nicht erst in Disney World wird die Welt zur Landschaft. Die Paradigmen für den modernen Themenpark sind zu Beginn der Moderne entwickelt worden und bilden den geschichtlichen Bezugspunkt für dominante Repräsentationsstrategien des modernen Lebens. // Die These wird am Beispiel des Bergparks Wilhelmshöhe bei Kassel, der seit der Renaissance immer wieder umgestaltet wurde, illustriert. Aus dieser Interpretation des modernen Themenparks wird eine Kritik an der Absicht, den Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe zu einem Museum zu machen, entfaltet. Der Bergpark hat eine Entwicklungsgeschichte und Motive, die zu jeder Zeit sowohl neue Sichtweisen, Interpretationen und Veränderungen erfuhren. Die Autoren wollen hierzu Einblicke geben und die Diskussion um Denkmalschutz und Perspektiven für den Park beleben.

Bilder talar sitt tydliga språk : Om könsschabloner i marknadsföring av leksaker och barnrum

Bilder av barnrum och produktbilder med leksaker står i centrum för denna uppsats, där huvudsyftet varit att utreda hur genussymboler och könsroller förmedlas i marknadsföringen vänd till barn. Källmaterialet har bestått av bilder strategiskt utvalda. Bildmaterialet har sedan analyserats med hjälp av en bildanalysmodell där flickor och pojkar placerats som motpoler med skilda genussymboler, som representerar de båda könsrollerna. Genussymboler som förekommer i bildmaterialet är allt ifrån bildtexter, färgval, kläder och utseende, föremål, idrott, aktiviteter till miljö. Tillsammans med ett närvarande barn är detta de symboler som gör bilden tydlig för sin tänkte mottagare. Genom bildanalysmodellen uppenbarar sig de genusspecifika symbolerna. Produktbilderna visar att könsschabloner är riktförekommande bland de bilder som visar leksaker respektive barnrum. Det går alltså att påvisa att det finns skapade barnrum för flickor och pojkar som har iscensatts med hjälp av genussymboler för respektive kön, detsamma går även att utläsas i bilderna av leksakerna.

Nationella minoriteter i historieundervisningen : bilder av romer i Utbildningsradions program under perioden 1975-2013

In 2000 when Sweden signed the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities the Roma minority became one of the acknowledged national minorities in the country. It meant that the rights of the Roma mi-nority would be safeguarded and the knowledge of its history and culture would be spread. In that context, the Swedish school, with its founded as-signment of democracy, was given an important role. The education was to communicate the multicultural values of the society and to make visible the history and culture of the Roma minority. The school books used in teaching today do not meet these demands. The view of the Roma minority given in school books is often inadequate and simplified. The present study will therefore examine a different type of edu-cational material used in schools and teaching, The Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company‟s programs of history and social studies regarding the Roma minority. Starting in postcolonial theory as well as critical dis-course analysis the study examines how the picture of the Roma cultural and ethnic identity in the Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company‟s material has been displayed and possibly changed during the period of 1975 to 2013. The results show a picture of Roma which, both in form and content, con-sists of some clearly demarcated discursive categories. The obvious continui-ty of the categories gives a picture of static and invariable Roma identity. At the same time this unambiguous picture is broken both by giving the existing discourses new meaning and also adding new discourses. The complexity and nuances become more prominent and the Roma identity is integrated in common Swedish history telling. The changes in the view of Roma, given by the Swedish Educational Broadcasting Company, can mainly be explained by the change of the Swedish immigration and minority policy and, as a conse-quence of this, the change of the school‟s mission regarding knowledge communication of Sweden as a multicultural country.

”När man kollar på bilden tänker man så här” : en receptionsstudie av gymnasieelevers uppfattning om bilder som kunskapskällor i historieundervisningen

Images are used in history education for a variety of reasons, not least to generate interest through a better understanding of historical events and people. The aim of this study was to investigate how historical pictures, either illustrated or documentary/photographic, can be used as a resource for activating and improving pupils' historical empathy, in the way described by Stéphane Lévasque. I conducted a reception study on five different focus groups consisting of pupils from different upper secondary schools in Sweden. The pupils varied with regard to number of credits for admission to upper secondary school. A sixth group of pupils was interviewed as a contrasting control group in order to add perspective to the results. The discussions were based on the pupils' interpretations of 34 selected pictures, all of which were taken from the most common history textbooks. Each pupil was asked to choose the picture he/she felt was the most representative historical image. On the basis of the strategies used by the pupils when interpreting the pictures and discussing them, the material was analysed in accordance with Lévesque's categories: imagination, historical contextualisation and morals. The last category, morals, was further divided into three sub-categories: sense of justice, sympathy and progression. The reflections of the pupils and the degree of contextualisation varied. It appeared that the pupils were less inclined to discuss assumptions about the persons in the pictures; instead they chose to discuss the historical context in question. The pictures in this study did not seem to trigger the pupils to fabricate anachronistic reasoning about history; when they did produce lengthy reasoning, it was contextual, structural and metahistorical. In this context, the pupils who belonged to the group with the highest average of credits showed some signs of reflection on the basis of historical context and some criticism about the historical sources. On no occasion did any of the pupils choose a picture as a concrete expression of injustice. One of the questions this study aimed to explore was whether a lack of historical context affects how pictures trigger emotions and reasoning on the basis of moral aspects. Some of the pupils displayed moral standpoints, primarily the degree of morals concerning injustice. One possible interpretation could be that the feeling of being unfairly treated and subjected to insulting behaviour and social injustice was something the pupils could relate to. The group of pupils who had not yet studied history at upper secondary school, the control group, generally made reflections using this sort of reasoning when they discussed the historical aspects of the pictures.
