Dr. Tatiana Tereshchenko (Moscow) and Dr. Pavel Brunssen (Heidelberg University) in conversation with Jiacheng Mo (HGGS)What do ancient and medieval visual arts have in common with modern Antigypsyism in German pop culture? At first glance, these topics seem entirely unrelated — one rooted in the distant past, and the other in urgent contemporary concerns. Yet, in our 4th podcast episode, Dr. Tatiana Tereshchenko (Moscow) and Dr. Pavel Brunssen (Heidelberg University), in conversation with Jiacheng Mo (HGGS), open up a surprising conversation between two very different fields of study. Even though their research topics differ widely in time period and subject matter, both scholars explore how visual culture reflects and reinforces the ways societies define and exclude “the Other”. Our discussion raises compelling questions about the power of images — whether ancient or modern — to shape public perception, transmit social values, and sometimes determine who belongs and who doesn’t. Join us for a thought-provoking exchange that bridges disciplines, histories and media forms. You might find that the gap between past and present isn’t quite as wide as it first appears.Timeline(00:00) Introducing Dr. Tereshchenko, Dr. Brunssen and Their Research Themes(02:25) Research Approaches and Methods(05:54) The Role of Visual Arts in Cultural Representation(10:02) Modern vs. Historical Visual Expressions(16:27) Stereotypes and Anti-Gypsyism in Society(20:28) Visual Arts and the Construction of Stereotypes(25:08) ConclusionKeywordsAntigypsyism, visual arts, ethnic studies, art history, German popular culture, cultural representation, stereotypes, research methods, contemporary art, historical art, ancient art, medieval art, minority, subjectivity, marginalized groups, otherness, media, image and text, propaganda
