Colombia in the imperialist gaze? The Reiss-Stuebel Photographic Collection and the Visual Economy of the 19th Century

Project: Research Project

Project Details

Description

Finalize an academic research on the photographs from Colombia from the Reiss and Stübel collection, taking into account both the conventional sources of the IFL archive and the Reiss-Engelhorn Museum in Germany and the printed or written sources available in Colombian archives. On the other hand, the "virtual recovery" of this visual heritage, with the help of the CRAI, the Historical Archive and the Vice-Rectory of the Universidad del Rosario. After meeting with these parties, I believe that it is very likely that the university will support the digitization and cataloguing of the Colombian photographs in the Stübel collection. However, the agreement has not yet been finalized.
