            Abstract
            Drawing on a number of paradigmatic works of art, the book explores the motif of ‘gypsy’ child-theft and its visualisations. The analytical focus is on the colour coding of bodies in texts and images and their racialised/anti-gypsy uses. Offering a comprehensive survey of the motif’s adaptations to different visual media, the author elaborates on its multiple layers of meaning and functions. The analysis starts with a critical review of Cervantes’ tale “La gitanilla”, moving through seventeenth-century Dutch history painting to take a cursory look at nineteenth-century printed images, and end up with an annotated filmography of 49 cinematic works.
             
            Anhand einer Reihe paradigmatischer Kunstwerke untersucht das Buch das Motiv des „Zigeuner“-Kinderraubs und dessen Visualisierungen. Im Vordergrund steht die Analyse der Farbkodierung von Körpern und deren rassistische bzw. antiziganistische Verwendung. Die Autorin nimmt eine Bestandsaufnahme der Anpassungen des Motivs in verschiedenen visuellen Medien vor und arbeitet seine vielschichtigen Bedeutungen und Funktionen heraus. Die Analyse beginnt mit einer kritischen Betrachtung von Cervantes Erzählung „La gitanilla“. Weitere inhaltliche Schwerpunkte sind die holländischen Historienmalereien des 17. Jahrhunderts und die neu aufkommende Drucktechnik im 19. Jahrhundert. Den Abschluss bildet eine annotierte Filmografie, die 49 Werke umfasst.
