Culture and Identity Mind Map

Visual Culture
1. Stuart Hall - Race is the floating signifier.
  1. Why do we insist on saying that we don't see color? We are made to see difference!
    1. See YouTube Stuart Hall - Race, the Floating Signifier (Part 4/7)
  2. We create discourse associated with the difference we see and build culture through this discourse.
4. Stuart Hall wrote Representation Cultural Representations and Signifying Practices and illustrates Lewis' point - what we SEE - signifies
  1. This concept is important for new media culture
5. EVERYTHING we see means something - whether we realize it or not.
6. Mirzoeff says we don't always know what we are seeing...spooky
  1. Is seeing believing???
7. Mitchell - vision is message without a code - a universal language
8. consider the power we give to images..or do the images have power?
9. read "You need to Go Upstairs" by Rumer Godden..note the power of visual culture without sight.
10. vision is not necessarily a learned activity..we assume much
11. Wolf says there is a danger is abandoning theory for the power of objects
  1. She also is critical of critical theory - it blocks emotion
Theories of Identity
1. Fanon - doubling - the third dimension - being Self and Other (Bhabha, 1994) - both positions are partial - there is a denial of self involved. p. 72
  1. Doubling - "Look, a Negro!"
    1. Fanon says, "triple person...i was responsible for my body, for my race, for my ancestors" (Bhabha, 1994)
      1. This does not disappear...
        I have felt this. It is so real.
        the duplicity of the mIssing person pencilled in before your eyes..that watch and haunt...pg 76
        ...although these images emerge with..fixity..in the present, as if the last word on the subject,,
        ..they cannot identify ...identity as presence." ..painful
        missing person - subaltern
        subjected to hegemony of another group - unaware of aubalternity
2. Disavowal of the Other incites anger and agression....YES
  1. ""For the strategy of the colonial desire is to stage the drama of identity...the black slips to reveal white skin"
3. Bhabha says in Location of Culture
  1. "The question of identity is never affirmation of a pre-given identity
    1. "never a self fulfilling prophecy
      1. "it is always the product of an image of identity and the transformation of the subject in assuming that image. pg 64
        This concept connects all over the map!!
        It fits with visual culture
        pg 72 - a problematic process to access an image of totality....what do you think you see..is that what you want to be?
        This definition fits all over the map as well.
        What do you think you see - is that what you want to be - is that who are you are? Is that what others see?
Culturally Responsive Teaching

New Media culture

  1. We need to be preparing students for jobs that do not currently exist.
    1. We need to change our teaching to keep up with media advancements
