Der Vietnamkrieg im Fotoessay

Larry Burrows zwischen Propaganda und kritischer Kriegsfotografie

Photojournalism as was practiced during the Vietnam War is considered particularly direct and straight. Based on photographic essays by Larry Burrows, the study analyses the American representation of the war in Life Magazine and its subsequent reception in historical, media-scientific and art-historical contexts. Hereby, criteria and image patterns of authenticity are verified and checked.

The studies show a changing image of war, which is still strongly influenced by colonial pictorial patterns. Photography in the style of combat photography - later made into a principle in embedded journalism - can already be shown as a form of propaganda for the Vietnam War.

Judith Schulte, PhD., is art historian with interest in photography, visual culture and digital humanities. She wrote her PhD-thesis on photojournalism with a scholarship of the a.r.t.e.s. Graduate School of the Humanities Cologne. Currently she is working as digital humanities officer for European research infrastructures at the Max Weber Foundation – German Humanities Institutes Abroad in Bonn.
