Project Tutorial: Pictures of Fear? Visual Anthropology of islamophobic Objects in Berlin
In the first phase the concept of ‘Islamophobia’ with be examined with regard to fear and compared with other concepts in order to develop a usable definition. In the second phase
the participants will be tasked with visually capturing objects in Berlin which invoke a suspected Islamophobia. In the third phase these objects will be analysed in terms of the construction and spread of fear, with the use of various scientific methods. The image and the results of the analysis will be placed online alongside contextualising information such as location and associated discourses with the aim of contributing to the discussion on ‘Islamophobia’ in public.
