Jewish Media and Visual Culture

Dear Colleagues,

The emergence of Jewish artists in the wake of emancipation has been subject to considerable academic research, but we still have a limited understanding of Jewish involvement in the leading printing technology of the nineteenth century. We are dedicating a Special Issue of Arts to the unprecedented public and visible relationship that Jews formed with new and emergent media forms in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This issue will take a fresh look at how Jewish anarchists and activists used these media forms to forge a path toward political agency. At the same time, we seek to understand how these pioneers in lithography, photography, the Yiddish press, postcards, and early Soviet agitprop used new media to find shelter from the exclusion in the nationalist idioms and discriminatory practices of the nation-state.
