Antiblackness and the Politics of the Visual
Vortrag von Kimberly Juanita Brown (Associate Professor, Department of English and Creative Writing and the Director of the Institute for Black Intellectual and Cultural Life / Dartmouth College), u.a. Autorin von „Mortevivum: Photography and the Politics of the Visual“ (MIT Press, 2024). Auf Englisch.
Veranstaltertext:
In her talk, Kimberly Juanita Brown will examine photography’s long history as tethered to global histories of antiblackness that have ritualized ways of seeing for the viewing public. What she calls a „cartography of the ocular“ is unpacked as one of the important ways to measure legibility in images of violated black subjects. What can we know about the span and the reach of photography’s extended life, and how is this related to the world we live in today?
Kimberly Juanita Brown will use her talk to explore the intentional foreclosure of possibility for black subjects in photographs disseminated through the media. In conversation with BAA Director Prof. Dr. Kerstin Schmidt (LMU Munich), Brown will then engage with some of the aspects she has talked about in more depth.
