Description
Traces the history of visual representations of anti-Jewish hatred in Czech Bohemia.
The vicious scourges of religion-based anti-Judaism and ethnically-rooted anti-Semitism are tragically deep-seated aspects of Czech Bohemian history. Images of Malice—copublished with Artefactum—examines visual instances from the well-known low points of historic Bohemian anti-Semitic resentment, while also recasting common views of eras not typically associated with rises in virulent anti-Jewish sentiment. This mapping of the visual signs of anti-Judaism and anti-Semitism is also an account of their broader meaning, as the processes of stereotyping, delegitimization, dehumanization, and exclusion from society represent a more dire and universal problem. As Images of Malice makes bracingly clear, the danger of anti-Jewish visuals is still an urgent problem today, in Europe and beyond. Eva Janáčová is an art historian at the Czech Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Art History. Gwendolyn Albert is a human rights activist, researcher, and translator focusing on issues surrounding the Romani minority. Hana Logan is a translator based in Toronto.
