Situated and shared visuality: representations of and by women

This proposal is framed with the intention of activating a collective reflection on the modes of visual representation of and by women that imply a political, non-neutral location (Rich, 1994). We attend to a situated visuality that is articulated through embodied and corporeal practices of representation because, as Haraway points out, no knowledge is detached from its context or from the subjectivity of the person who emits it, (...) and occupying a place implies responsibility in our practices (1995).

In line with the postulates of feminist epistemology, we will explore the relationships among power, knowledge, and representation by attending to visual narratives with transformative potential drawn from collaborative creation, proposals for thought, action, or analysis that imagine and open up closed possibilities (Butler, 2020). We aspire to understand the power of contemporary representations that arise from the relationship between people and images and spur us into action (García Varas, 2019) to investigate the question of how to articulate new and/or radical ways of questioning the dominant systems of cultural production by and of women.

From this framework, we are interested in contributions that are inscribed in the following thematic-analytical axes:

Imaginaries and myths about ruralities from contemporary culture and art.

Archive images, archive of images from an ethical and feminist perspective.

Cultural mediations and embodied visualities.

Women as narrators of stories and imaginaries through visual and audiovisual representations behind the camera or in front of the gaze.

Visions that explore the relationship between land and visuality, and how this interaction is affected by issues of gender and power.

Studies on the production and circulation of images that challenge dominant narratives and propose new ways of seeing, thinking, feeling, being and/or being.
