Visual Securitization: Threats, Genre, and Temporality
16 December 2010 kl. 09.00
Images play an important role for security policies and conceptualizations. They are mobilized by securitizing actors who seek to convince their audiences that particular threats are worthy of collective response, and they work as media through which the past and present are constituted. Visual representations arise within particular spaces yet have the capacity to gain worldwide circulation and appropriation. This seminar will discuss how we might theorize and analyze the role images play for security through four papers that address genres ranging from memorials to video and film. Read more
