Departing from the question, which gender-coded images (Lowry 1999, Dyer 2003) of Jewishness are being (re-)produced and negotiated in contemporary (audio-)visual media, my research project explores the intersectional relationship between mediality, Jewishness and queerness from the interdisciplinary perspective of Jewish Visual Culture Studies. Within the framework of a discourse-analytically oriented study (Stiegler 2014, Landwehr 2018), a special emphasis is placed on the historically far-reaching gendering of ‘Jewish difference’ (Silverman 2011) and the anti-Semetic idea of a transgressive, deviant sexuality embodied by Jews. With the help of differentiated media analyses and by combining a theoretical framework from Media Studies, Visual Studies, Jewish Cultural Studies, Gender- as well as Queer Studies it is shown, how ‘being Jewish’ is coded as the ‘double Other’ in contemporary visual media and thereby marked as norm-deviant and queer. This marginalizing multi-layered entanglement needs to be explored in the context of its socio-cultural implications as well as its historical embeddings and contemporary manifestations.My project aims to address this othering process that becomes apparent in a complex and problematic relationship between revealing, visualizing and exposing gender-coded cultural Jewish identities in (audio-)visual media. In the light of current socio-political developments, which reveal a growing anti-Semitism as well as antigenderism, the intersectional analysis of the representation and negotiation of gendered Jewish difference in (audio-)visual media seems to be of particular importance and relevance. The project thus has the purpose to critically reflect on the structuring function of the analytical categories gender and queer for the media-discursive (re-)production of Jewish difference in (audio-)visual media. In addition, the project also aims at analyzing how, when, and under which circumstances these gendered codes of Jewish identity are being irritated and subverted.The socio-political impact of the project lies in the critical analysis of recurring discriminatory motifs and identity ascriptions that (re-)produce inequalities and exclusions in the field of tension between explicit and implicit anti-Semitism. By revealing disjunctions and dissonances as well as questioning (hetero-)normative attributions, the project also contributes to a critique of hegemonic power structures as well as to the revision of both anti-Semitic and marginalizing conceptions of 'Jewishness'.

从犹太性的性别编码图像（Lowry 1999，Dyer 2003）在当代（音频）视觉媒体中被（重新）生产和协商的问题出发，我的研究项目从犹太视觉文化研究的跨学科视角探索媒介性，犹太性和酷儿性之间的交叉关系。在话语分析导向研究的框架内（Stiegler 2014，Landwehr 2018），特别强调了历史上影响深远的“犹太人差异”的性别化（Silverman 2011）和犹太人所体现的越轨，越轨的性行为的反犹太主义思想。借助差异化的媒体分析，结合媒体研究、视觉研究、犹太文化研究、性别研究以及酷儿研究的理论框架，本文展示了“犹太人”在当代视觉媒体中如何被编码为“双重他者”，从而被标记为规范偏离和酷儿。这种边缘化的多层次的纠缠需要在其社会文化影响的背景下，以及其历史嵌入和当代的manifestations.My项目的目的是解决这个othering过程中变得明显的揭示，可视化和暴露（音频）视觉媒体中的性别编码的文化犹太人身份之间的复杂和有问题的关系。鉴于目前的社会政治发展，这表明反犹太主义以及antigenderism，（音频）视频媒体的性别犹太人的差异的代表性和谈判的交叉分析似乎是特别重要和相关的。因此，该项目的目的是批判性地反思分析类别性别和酷儿的结构功能，为媒体话语（重新）生产犹太人的差异（音频）视觉媒体。此外，该项目还旨在分析这些犹太人身份的性别代码是如何、何时和在何种情况下受到激怒和颠覆的，该项目的社会政治影响在于对反复出现的歧视性主题和身份归属进行批判性分析，这些主题和身份归属在显性和隐性反犹太主义之间的紧张关系领域（重新）产生不平等和排斥。通过揭示分离和不和谐以及质疑（异）规范属性，该项目还有助于霸权权力结构的批判，以及修改反犹太人和边缘化的“犹太性”概念。
