This volume offers the first in-depth analysis of how early modern people produced and consumed violent imagery, and assesses its role in memory practices, political mobilization, and the negotiation of cruelty and justice.       Critically evaluating the traditional focus on Western European imagery, the case studies in this book draw on evidence from Russia, China, Hungary, Portugal, Germany, North America, and other regions. The contributors highlight the distinctions among visual cultures of violence, as well as their entanglements in networks of intensive transregional communication, early globalization, and European colonization.

Etényi, Fabian Fechner, Joana Fraga, Malte Griesse, Alain Hugon, Gleb Kazakov, Nancy Kollmann, Ya-Chen Ma, Galina Tirnanić, and Ramon Voges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations  Notes on Contributors    Introduction: Revolts and Political Violence in Early Modern Imagery   Malte Griesse, Monika Barget and David de Boer    Part 1: Visual Markers of Legitimacy  1 To Visualize or Not to Visualize: Commemorating the Suppression of Revolt in Early Qing China   Ya-chen Ma    2 Visualizing Punishment in Byzantium: Disseminating Memories of Quelled Revolts before the Age of Mechanical Reproduction   Galina Tirnanić    3 Revolutionary Ceremonies and Visual Culture during the Neapolitan Revolt (1647–1648)   Alain Hugon    Part 2: Confessional Conflict  4 From Power Brokers to Rebels: How Frans Hogenberg Depicted the Beginning of the Dutch Revolt   Ramon Voges    5 Strategies of Transnational Identification: Images of the 1655 Massacre of the Waldensians in the Dutch Press   David de Boer    6 Image and Text as Propaganda during the Upper Austrian Peasant War, 1626   Malte Griesse    Part 3: Foreign Observation  7 The International Reputation and Self-Representation of Hungarian Noblemen in the Seventeenth Century   Nóra G.
