Hildegard Frübis: Site(s): Gender-Image-Politics: An Introduction Issue No. 44 takes the form of a workshop report to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of FKW. The editors each contribute brief snapshots to provide an illuminating insight into the journal's future. The FKW editorial team has changed almost entirely since 2004, and accordingly many ambitious ideas exist for current issues. This circumstance was a further reason for conceiving the present jubilee issue as a series of spotlights, in which the current editors each present their perspectives on a wide range of subjects, including art, the image, gender, the cultural and political status of the visual, and so on. The brief contributions should be regarded as a kind of laboratory situation, in which the members of the editorial board discuss their research interests and establish how these relate to feminist issues and also to the current debates on cultural policy.

Hildegard Frübis: "Olmert reconsiders withdrawal plans". The Power of Images – Critical Visual Studies and Feminist CriticismIn current visual representations of Islamic countries in the mass media, including newspapers and periodicals, we can observe the emergence of an image of "the Orient" that forms part of the visual politics of a "new" Orientalism. In the photograph analyzed here, three main motifs come to light: the circle around the veiled woman; the religious symbols of Islam, including the mosque; and visible signs of violence. The article considers the relationship between the photographic images – as part of mass media reporting and as products of an artistic tradition – and the reality from which they arise. At the same time, the pictures are understood as contributing to the perception and constitution of that "reality".

Dieses Buch geht auf die Konferenz "Fotografien aus den Lagern des NS-Regimes" zurück, die im November 2016 am Centrum für Jüdische Studien in Graz stattfand. Forschungsgeschichtlich gehört die Fotografie mittlerweile zu den Schlüsselmedien der Erforschung des Holocaust, was darauf zurückzuführen ist, dass in den Konzentrationslagern massenhaft und vielfältig fotografiert wurde – trotz aller offiziellen Verbote. Der thematische Spannungsbogen der hier publizierten Beiträge reicht von den privaten Knipser-Fotografen aus den Reihen der SS über die Fotografien des Erkennungsdienstes bis zu den heimlichen Aufnahmen von KZ-Häftlingen. Präsentiert werden noch selten publizierte Bildquellen aus den Archiven West- und Osteuropas sowie den USA.
