• The article focuses on moral collectives that use ‘good’ and ‘bad’ images as communicative references to constitute themselves. The focus of social science research is thus on those communicative processes of understanding and negotiation about jointly accepted or rejected image judgments and about intersubjectively shared or condemnable image practices through which a moral collective is constituted. Particularly in the case of images of violence, which are socially disseminated and attract attention, and in view of which moral voices are also repeatedly raised in the social sciences, which often pretend to be self-evident and universally valid, it is important to take a sociological look at the conditions of perception and interpretation that are constitutive for these attitudes. The concrete occasions on which moral collectives are socially consolidated and when, where, by whom and, above all, how moral collectives position themselves in social discourses with their educational ethics are among the most current questions and most urgent tasks of a sociology of morality and will be examined exemplarily on the basis of the case study of an ‘icon’ of the so-called refugee crisis of 2015.
