Trauma and Identity in Media, Medialisation and Construct
Journal Title: In Medias Res - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 13
Abstract
Rebecca Randall’s hybrid term “Ideoscape” refers to series of images relating to ideologies and anti-ideologies, for which will I seek to give examples in my text. A special theme is that of the truth-ness of images – in mass media (media-mediated reality), as opposed to the status of image in contemporary art where it is often used as a medium for anthropological or sociological mapping as well as archiving, according to Hal Foster’s 1990s definition of the Artist “as Ethnographer.” The theme of trauma in the picture is often associated with political or economic connotations of place, which affect the future of man and question the integrity and even sustainability of one’s body. The subnarrative of this text is the inability, impossibility of communication of the traumatized observer, the spectator who “returns from the battlefield” not richer but poorer in terms of communication experience – according to Walter Benjamin. My text is based on the media-mediated images of traumatic events, as well as the media-constructed reality (reality of media).
