Description
Summary:This article focuses on the appearance of the theme of vulnerability, from the 18th century, on woodcuts whose visual narrative refers to the process of people´s aging in analogy with the motif staircase or steps of life. The emergence of the consideration of disability as a possible crossing of the life cycle has triggered the investigative problem: How does the issue of vulnerability arise in woodcuts whose visual narrative refers to the motif for the staircase or steps of life, accompanied by a religious narrative? It presents the results of an exploratory documentary research, realized in the archives of the Museum of the Image in the city of Epinal, France, of the Museum of Cultures, in the city of Basel, Switzerland and of the State Church in Stuttgart, Germany, in July 2017. It argues as a first result, comparing the educational and religious visual narratives, that there is a modification of the visual narrative of the reason for the ladder of life and that its appearance anticipates, in the field of education, but not in the field of theology, the consideration of respect for vulnerability as an anthropological condition. As a second result, is shown the importance of visual culture as a proper narrative and an essential source for the human sciences, especially for the fields of education and religious studies, which in this case giving evidence for the beginning of a new perspective about the human condition.
