The political constellation of the personal union between England and Hanover with the figure of a foreign king as a mediator between separate states became a determining factor and was in itself a historical condition for the emergence and the development of caricatures in England after the Glorious Revolution. As a political weapon of the opposition and as a manifestation of public opinion, the caricatures affected the establishment: one the one hand, their visual potential was a threat to the sovereign, on the other hand they helped to stabilize his leadership.
What contents do they show? Does the artistic become political? Is there something like an institutionalized form of political perception? Or is this visual criticism nothing else but a loyal subversion of their subjects?

Program of the Herrenhäuser Symposium You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
