- W857960755 abstract "Tautz, Birgit, ed. Colors 1800/1900/2000: Signs of Ethnic Difference. Amsterdam: Rodopi, 2004. 283 pp. $75.00 hardcover. This innovative collection of scholarly essays examines the role that color has played in perceiving and representing ethnic difference by recasting productions of German culture around the turns of the last three centuries. The eleven contributions and the in-depth introduction and epilogue by the editor use critical, interdisciplinary approaches, methods, and styles pertinent to German Studies, adopted from anthropology, art history, history, literature, and sociology. The introduction positions this anthology in the debate on cultural alterity in the study of German culture and presents useful analytical tools for rethinking and challenging traditional approaches to aesthetic and literary German Studies. It also explores the multifaceted relationship of vision, textuality, perception, and representation. The contributors discuss not just images and the ways in which they are constructed and perceived but also try to chronicle the role of color and vision in specific historical circumstances and discursive contexts. There are three overarching theses that unify these essays despite their variety. The first thesis is discussed in part one where the authors show how the origins of a modern, eunic imagination portrayed in German-language texts published around 1800 inscribed patterns of seeing that have persisted to this day. Perception and articulation of visual impressions have constructed the ethnic Other in relation to a homogeneous Self that later constitutes and affirms the identity of Self. More current developments, after 1900, involve processes of metaphorization and de-colorization. Colors, as all the essays demonstrate in different ways, are instrumental in structuring visual and textual processes and discourses that at first appear colorless, because metaphorization and de-colorization can conceal layers of color and visual signs only to a certain degree. The second thesis is that visual fields and vision are dynamic entities that are metaphorically, philosophically, and technologically transformed over time and are always in flux. The third thesis unifying this collection is that no coherent narrative can explain the genesis of the concept of ethnic difference. Only momentary constellations (14) are captured by the authors. The contributions try to present a differentiated approach to the discussion of cultural alterity and visuality. They all explore symptoms and signs of ethnic difference linked to colors (of race) and to modes of constructing difference that produce mostly visual signs. The essays are grouped into three parts under the markers of the turn of the centuries: 1800,1900, and 2000, and they reflect upon the constellation of Self/Other since its discursive birth and the transformations this concept has undergone since then. …" @default.
