Iris Schröder & Felix Schürmann: Maps have hitherto led a marginal existence in the history of globalization. Sea and ocean charts receive even less attention, despite their unique visualization of maritime spaces and their inherent global connections. The aim of the joint project is to use sea and ocean charts to tell a little-known story in the period of transformation dating from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century.

Patrick Rössler: The importance of pictoral representations in the process of political communications is undisputed, but little is known about the standards of media image reporting in the first half of the 20th century. The aim of the proposed research project is therefore identifying empirically supported findings on longer, possibly even decades-spanning developments in this area, in order to arrive at statements about continuities and discontinuities in visual political communication and to…

Patrick Rössler: At the turn of the 20th century, a globalized world view is establishing itself, creating the new images and new information paths that are the focus of this project. Whether the world language Esperanto or the pictogram as a building block of a global language: the complexity of social processes is countered by a search for simple orders and orientation, which also creates a new world of pictures in design and composition.
