Deconstructing and restoring photography as an embodiment of memoryNaude, Irene 11 1900 (has links)
This dissertation considers whether photography as a language translates
a transient moment into an embodied image. This is considered to be a
mimesis of the moment as an aid for memory. By following a dialectic
approach I posit a thesis based on the common sense perception of
photography which states that photography is an artefactual mimesis
aiding memory. After reflecting on Plato’s concept of writing as a
pharmakon and Jacques Derrida’s deconstruction theory I establish an
antithesis which proclaims that a photograph aids memory but also leads
to the illusion of remembering past experiences. The synthesis is then
presented which resolves the opposing ideas. This component argues that
a photograph is a mimetic device that aids memory by presenting
embodied fragmented reflections of time which can be used to create new
meanings and memories. The dissertation concludes with a discussion
that supports and integrates this argument with visual research. / Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology / M.A. (Visual Arts)
