Abstract

This provides a commentary on images, specifically on a series of French postcards depicting mainly eroticized "scenes from Algerian life" under colonial rule during the first three decades of this century (which Alloula calls the "Golden Age of the colonial postcard"). The aim is to address, to some extent create, a new audience, one capable of seeing through the immediate scene of the images in order to view the machinery of colonialism at work, behind the scene. Edward Said has cited The Colonial Harem as an "excellent example" of the kind of post-colonial text that "open[s] the [Western] culture to experiences of the Other which have remained 'outside' (and have been repressed or framed in a context of confrontational hostility) the norms manufactured by 'insiders' and that "[t]he pictorial capture of colonized people by colonizer" is made intelligible for an audience of modem European readers" ("Opponents, Audiences, Constituencies and Community"). This view, by no means unanimous,) is nonetheless roughly accurate in at least its most general point: Alloula does intend to bring the "outside" closer to the "inside" and, in doing so, to reverse the distinction by presenting not only a critique of political "capture," but a counter-image of resistance as well.

Abstract

Searing images of suicide bombings and retaliatory strikes now define the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for many Westerners, but television and print media are not the only visual realms in which the conflict is playing out. Even tourist postcards and greeting cards have been pressed into service as vehicles through which Israelis and Palestinians present competing visions of national selfhood and conflicting claims to their common homeland. In this book, Tim Jon Semmerling explores how Israelis and Palestinians have recently used postcards and greeting cards to present images of the national self, to build national awareness and reinforce nationalist ideologies, and to gain international acceptance. He discusses and displays the works of numerous postcard/greeting card manufacturers, artists, and photographers and identifies the symbolic choices in their postcards, how the choices are arranged into messages, what the messages convey and to whom, and who benefits and loses in these presentations of national self. Semmerling convincingly demonstrates that, far from being ephemeral, Israeli and Palestinian postcards constitute an important arena of struggle over visual signs and the power to produce reality.

Abstract

Die Ansichtskarte ist ein Erfolgsmedium des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit ihrer Beidseitigkeit von Text und Bild ist sie seit der Nachkriegszeit zur Ikone des modernen Massentourismus geworden. Den Gruß aus der Ferne mit Mitteilungen über das Erlebte zu verbinden, gehört seither zu den Alltagsritualen des Urlaubs. Aber was genau schreiben Menschen auf Ansichtskarten? Welche sprachlich-kommunikativen Muster des Urlaubsgrußes haben sich bewährt und wie haben sie sich im Laufe der Jahrzehnte verändert? Und droht die Ansichtskarte angesichts der Konkurrenz elektronischer Nachfolger auszusterben? Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes gehen diese Fragen unter korpus-, text- und kulturlinguistischen Gesichtspunkten empirisch nach.
