Photographs, posters, drawings, comic book illustrations et cetera will be examined on different levels: the author and his/her intentions, the representation of a reality, the construction of identities, rights and inequalities and the reception of images. The workshop aims at debating and evaluating various methodological and theoretical approaches to using images as historical sources and interpret the images as valuable historical evidence that is equal to and supplements other sources available to historians, archaeologists and researchers in the field of cultural heritage.On the first day, PhD and Master students and other researchers are invited to present their research in different thematic sessions. The second day consists of a masterclass, conducted by dr. Anne Cronin (Department of Sociology, University of Lancaster, UK) ), and a lecture by dr. Marga Altena (Working group Visual Culture) (under reserve) . In the afternoon, dr. Kees Ribbens (historian, The Netherlands Institute for War Documentation) will talk about his experience in the field of popular culture and cultural heritage and about how visual sources determine our vision of the past.
