Visualizing Culture: The Politics of Community and Citizenship in Asia

This panel for the 2007 AAA meetings seeks papers that broadly explore the relationship between the visual and claims for citizenship by marginalized communities in Asia.


While studies on the politics of citizenship have traditionally focused on participation in civic and state-sponsored activities, the influence of the arts and visual cultures in conferring a sense of belonging remains to be addressed. The intersection of visual culture and citizenship can be harnessed to offer a particular vantage point to analyze the links between access to state representation, power,and capital for marginalized communities. Papers that also engage with citizenship in relation to globalization are particularly welcome.

Please email 250-300 word abstract by Tuesday, March 20th to:
