Abstract

This article revisits one moment in international law through the prism of visual culture, analysing paintings, photographs and political cartoons of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. It considers the historical representation of treaty-making, narratives of international law as beneficent universal regulator and spectacle, and the projection of ‘successful’ international law through image. It reflects on photographs that capture working, ‘behind-the-scenes’ moments and portrayals of a more agitated, restless visual international law. And it explores the idea that visuality contributes to the construction of international legal reality and is a specific site of meaning for our understanding of treaty-making at Versailles.

条约的视觉性:对凡尔赛的反思
本文通过视觉文化的棱镜重新审视了国际法中的一个时刻,分析了《凡尔赛条约》签署时的绘画、照片和政治漫画。它认为条约制定的历史表现,国际法作为有益的普遍调节器和奇观的叙述,以及通过图像投射“成功”的国际法。它反映了捕捉工作、“幕后”时刻的照片,以及对更激动、不安的视觉国际法的描绘。它探讨了可视化有助于国际法律现实的构建,是我们理解凡尔赛条约制定的一个特定意义所在。
