4.9/5 (24154 ratings)

Description:Historical image research has been particularly applied to studies of relationships between cultures and between peoples. There have also been studies that deal with the images of certain important individuals. Through long continuous development, the theory of historical image research has become increasingly established, and it seems that there is practically no limits to its possibilities. It has even been claimed that one could approach all historical sources through the image research, since every source is at thesame time a relic as well as a reflection of the past.The purpose of this publication is, however, not to speculate directly on the various theoretical aspects of the historical image research, but rather its applicability to different study instances. An overview of the theoretical framework of historical image research is presented in the introduction. The articles introduce cases of image research from three viewpoints: (1) images of distant cultures, (2) images of neighbouring peoples, including the enemy image, and (3) images of politically influential persons in various times andcultural contexts. The authors examine the use of sources, different interpretation possibilities and their limitations – the historical image method as an instrument of analysis and as a viewpoint. All the authors are experienced researchers at the Department of History of the University of Oulu, and their work is much along the lines of the strong tradition of historical image research carried out at the department since the 1970s.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
