 abstract = {Refugee photography is often used to convey situations of precariousness and urgency, as visibility can help raise awareness and elicit empathy. Critical perspectives in relation to photographic representations can provide more nuanced understandings of refugee lived experiences over time. This article uses the iconographic-iconologic image framework as a process to understand how refugee lived experiences were represented in four photographs from a refugee library collection. These photographs depict different refugee situations from some 20 to 35 years ago. As a refugee studies scholar interested in visual-based research, I wished to analyze how refugee lived experiences were represented through these photographs from another era. The application of the iconographic-iconologic image framework suggests various themes evoked through these photographs, which still have currency in today's highly polemic discourses on the global refugee regime and are still prominent in present-day discourses and contemporary refugee literature. This qualitative analysis shows the potential of photographs to highlight how precarious refugee situations persist over time despite intense international efforts in this field. (author's abstract)Flüchtlingsfotografien werden oft genutzt, um die tiefe Verunsicherung und Not der Betroffenen zu vermitteln und so Aufmerksamkeit und Empathie anzuregen. Kritische Perspektiven zu fotografischer Repräsentation können hier zu einem nuancenreicheren Verständnis der Alltagserfahrungen von Flüchtlingen über die Zeit beitragen. In diesem Artikel beschreibe ich einen ikonografisch-ikonologischen Ansatz zur Analyse von vier Fotografien zu Situationen, die zwischen 20 bis 35 Jahren zurückliegen. Auf diese Weise konnten verschiedene Themen identifiziert werden, die auch in den aktuell polemischen Diskursen zu globaler Flüchtlingspolitik von Bedeutung sind. Insoweit veranschaulicht die Analyse das Potenzial von Fotografien zu verdeutlichen, dass prekäre Lebenssituationen trotz internationaler Anstrengungen in diesem Feld fortdauern. (Autorenreferat)},
