Readings • DJ Clark, Representing the Majority World: Famine, Photojournalism and the Changing Visual Economy, Introduction (esp. pp. 10-18) and Chapter 1 (esp. pp. 32-41) • ShaniOrgad, Media Representation and the Global Imagination (Oxford: Polity Press, 2012) • David Campbell, “The new visual stories of ‘Africa,” at http://www.david-campbell.org/2010/06/01/new-visuals-africa/

  7. Geographical imagination is… “the mechanism by which people come to know the world and situate themselves in space and time. It consists, in essence, of a chain of practices and processes by which geographical information is gathered, geographical facts are ordered and imaginative geographies are constructed. Photography is one of those practices.” (Schwartz and Ryan, 2003: 6)

  8. Scopic regimes A systematic structuring of the visual field which produces a “constructed visibility that allows particular objects to be seen in determinate ways” Gregory (2003: 224)

  9. Visual economy “visual images [are] part of a comprehensive organization of people, ideas and objects.” (Poole, 1997: 9-10).

  10. This organization involves three levels: • the organization of production comprising the individuals and the technologies that produce images; • the circulation of goods, meaning the transmission and publication of images and image-objects; • the cultural resources and social systems through which images are interpreted and valued

  11. Stereotype • A stereotype is something preconceived or oversimplified that is constantly repeated without change • Stereotypes involve icons, which are figures that represent events or issues.

  12. Re-imagining geographies How to challenge stereotypes through new visual stories.
