| 3. Can imagery be addressed
in new ways with on-line methods? Can a collective discussion of
imagery produce more scholarly knowledge than just an individual
analysis? Is it possible to analyze electronic images in a scholarly
manner without examining the material object? texture of the paper?
printing technique? style? color? |

On-line methods enable scholars to see images that would
normally be unavailable because of the limitations
of time, travel, and the inaccessibility of special
collections, particularly in France. Furthermore, on-line
versions of any given or multiple images can be viewed
comparatively or expanded for detail on screen. The
notion of beginning a study of visual evidence by discussing
or debating a particular problem with colleagues both
near and far could be very helpful, particularly for
scholars working in interdisciplinary research. Obviously
this experiment offers a welcome approach to what has
been for most scholars a very esoteric and solitary
process. I particularly learned much from Warren’s
analyses of crowd violence in Le Prieur’s study of
Foulon and Bertier
de Sauvigny. I likewise found Vivian’s
analysis of the ritualistic and redemptive aspects
of the “Execution of Louis XVI” to be both
provocative and inspiring. Both colleagues offer important
avenues to understanding the issue of revolutionary
crowd violence by using historical cues in the prints
to expand their interpretation as well as by incorporating
contemporaneous comments and criticism to address the
image from the purview of the revolutionary epoch. |
