Vortrag
The presentation will draw on the findings of the research for the book-length project tentatively entitled Muslim Visual Culture in Late Imperial Russia. It will, however, focus on discussing the role the Tatar satirical journal Yalt-Yolt played at the beginning of the twentieth century in extending the boundaries of Muslim modernity discourses by enriching the new ways of knowing and exploring the Self through the social medium and visual messages of cartoons.
