The project is sat out to analyse socially shared ways of seeing and dissemination of mass-produced images in 19th-century Lithuania. The research aims to answer following questions: how did various political, ethnic, and professional communities shape their “corporate” visual practices; how did common visual practices express collective concerns and influence group identities; in what aspects were the aforementioned processes in the Western provinces similar to and different from the analogous practices in other regions of the Russian Empire; did the objectives and methods of such visual activities in the Russian Empire and its part, the former territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, correspond to the concurrent practices in other European countries? The analysis is focused on manufactured artefacts: memorabilia, illustrated periodicals, postcards, lithographs, photographs, school aids, decorated houseware items etc. The forms of their production, application, and reception as well as their role in the field of public instruction, school training, propaganda, legal system, and medicine is the main subject of scholarly attention.
Results: 2 conference papers, 1 article submitted to the academic journal “Lithuanian Historical Studies”. The project to be continued (a monograph is in preparation).
