Interculture Journal: "Photography and (Post-)Coloniality: Visual Representations of Colonial Encounters in Intercultural Perspective"

Category: Publication

Interculture Journal is looking for contributions in German, English or French for issue 02/2026 on the topic of "Photography and (Post-)Coloniality: Visual Representations of Colonial Encounters in Intercultural Perspective". This special issue explores the role of photography as a central medium of (post-)coloniality and welcomes contributions examining visual representations of colonial encounters from an intercultural perspective. Contributions may examine both historical and contemporary photographic practices to locate the medium of photography in (post)colonial and intercultural discourse. The bracketed prefix “(post-)” indicates that the colonial as an ongoing historical power structure is not always obvious, but is always present and must be deconstructed to achieve the decolonization of society and culture. This thematic issue explores the intersection of photography, (post)coloniality and interculturality offering a research perspective that has not yet been adequately examined and aligning with current German and international discussions about the insufficiently addressed cultural “legacy” of colonialism.
