Zusammenfassung

In diesem Beitrag analysieren wir Bilder und Videos von Kulturgüterzerstörung durch ISIS. Wir argumentieren, dass ISIS’ Bildsprache erst dadurch als Konfliktstrategie erfolgreich wird, dass sie sich einen globalen Kulturdiskurs aneignet und Reaktionen mächtiger Sprecher*innen antizipiert. Wir stellen zwei Inszenierungen von Kulturgüterzerstörung einander gegenüber und zeigen Unterschiede in der Visualisierungsstrategie sowie in den angezielten Diskursen auf und problematisieren diese im Hinblick auf den Zusammenhang zwischen Kultur, Sicherheit und Gewalthierarchien.
