The Image as Self: Strategies for Self-representation

	The history of images is often the history of those in power. But,
as Foucault has succinctly stated, where there is power there is resistance.
This panel will look at strategies of self-representation that resist and
undermine representational schema that place the native subject as object.
Many of these strategies involve the subversive recycling of stereotypical
images while other strategies work to re-historicize the original contexts
for these images. We encourage submissions that focus on work by artists and
historians that critically reevaluate these strategies of
self-representation.

Please submit absrtract to:

Mario A. Caro
Lab II
Evergreen State College

or via e-mail at carom-AT-evergreen.edu
