Presentation: The Evocative OTHER / The Provocative THIS by Mary K. Brantl, Ph.D., St. Edward's University, Austin, Texas.
The Evocative OTHER / The Provocative THIS positions these and diverse other examples to consider issues of efficacy and reception through the appropriation of images. By opening up questions of, how empowered a photographic image can be in the postmodern context of doubtful authority; it explores the photographic authority still often embedded in and supported by non-photographic arts. The talk will explore potential undercurrents linked to appropriation such as the ownership of the body – that still enable the appropriated aura of past work to concern, to anger, and to activate. Concurrently, it raises its own queries of efficacy and of ethics.
Dialogue and critique are important to the SPE mission.
