Using Photographs to Write a History of Emotions
Recently, scholars in multiple fields have begun to revisit the study of emotions.
Historians have also taken up this call, and some have begun to speak of
“an emotional turn” in the field.
But what sources and methods can be used to study and formulate
a history of emotions? Photographs would seem to be both
obvious and unlikely sources for such a study – obvious because
photography has long been used as a tool of emotional remembrance,
unlikely because pictures often obscure as much as they reveal
about the emotions of the sitter. This talk will
explore ways of thinking about photographs as a source
for researching the history of emotions. It will also
examine the work of pioneering portrait photographers
in nineteenth-century Germany, who experimented with the
new medium as a means of capturing a range of affective
states and relationships.
