| Summary: | The black bloc is an urban tactic through which activists seek anonymity by wearing collectively black masks and clothes. Used in the anarchist and autonomous militant circles of West Germany during the 1980s, this tactic has been rapidly re-appropriated on a transnational scale. According to a transdisciplinary understanding of political visibility, this article focuses on the globalized political iconology of the black bloc, understood as a « global visual fieldwork ». The analysis of the anti-globalization imagery is focused on the archives of the G8 summit of Genoa (2001) and more specifically on iconographical ramifications in the Italian national political history, as a case study of articulation of global and local scales in visual theory. |
