Popis: | This paper analyzes the ‘seeing’ of difference, and its relation to identity and community. It argues that Western images of the Other are part of an obfuscating global spectacle and it explores ways in which this spectacle manipulates and diverts our perceptions of difference, obscures social and political contradictions, and blinds us to the possibilities of an inclusive, democratic and pluralistic society. By examining the complex ways in which vision and identity are shaped by social narrative and esthetic cravings, we show how traditional views of identity and community can be altered for the better by interrogating and reimagining visions of self and Other. |
