Framer Framed and Post-Colonial Theory

Hi all in Tues night grad critique.

I thought from NYC of you all and wanted to  post:

Trinh T Min-ha's books on the "colonialist " view. In my film  classes, we read excerpts from her wonderful book Framer Framed, Routledge 1992. It is in the library. Min-ha is filmmaker and writer, teaches at UC Berkeley, has a great film entitled Re-Assemblage and has thought deeply about how to look at the "other." My poet friend says "the other is yourself" and I feel that is likely the best and most personal way to think about it. However, some theoretical and political background is helpful and this book addresses issues of feminist, postcolonial and postmodernist art and culture. I do find film and video have explored ethical issues often more deeply than in the art world ( you can argue with me on this), so please take a look.

There is also Colonial Discourse and Post-Colonial Theory. a reader edited by Patrick Williams and Laura Chrisman with work by Frantz Fanon, Homi Bhabha and Gayatri Spivak as well as poets Aime Cesaire and Arabist Edward Said. Columbia University Press 1994.

I don't think these issues have gone away though they may have become more post-post (!).

Looking forward to seeing you next week.

Abigail

ps Our NY field trip was fun and rewarding, some marvelous films and interesting questions raised.

kirlian photography

Kirlian photography is a technique for creating contact print photographs using high voltage. The process entails placing sheet photographic film on top of a metal discharge plate. The object to be photographed is then placed directly on top of the film. High voltage is momentarily applied to the metal plate, thus creating an exposure. The corona discharge between the object and the high voltage plate is captured by the film. The developed film results in a Kirlian photograph of the object.
