Monika Barget has, together with Malte Griesse and David de Boer, published a book titled Revolts and Political Violence in Early Modern Imagery.
In the early modern period, images of revolts and violence became increasingly important tools to legitimize or contest political structures. The volume offers an in-depth analysis of how early modern people produced and consumed violent imagery.
Critically evaluating the traditional focus on Western European imagery, the case studies in this book draw on evidence from Russia, China, Hungary, Portugal, Germany, North America, and other regions. The contributors highlight the distinctions among visual cultures of violence, as well as their entanglements in networks of intensive transregional communication, early globalisation, and European colonisation.
Apart from the editors, contributors include Nóra G. Etényi, Fabian Fechner, Joana Fraga, Alain Hugon, Gleb Kazakov, Nancy Kollmann, Ya-Chen Ma, Galina Tirnanić, and Ramon Voges.
