Accepted Paper:
Visual representations of crises after post-election periods in Iran: Facebook, Twitter, You Tube
Pedram Khosronejad
(Powerhouse Museum)
Paper short abstract:
In this paper I am interested in understanding the role of the digital and cyber world in the post-election movements in Iran, particularly, the processes of image transference and its resulting forms of visualizing crisis (Death of Neda Agha-Soltan)
Paper long abstract:
In this paper I am interested in understanding the role of the digital and cyber world in the post-election movements in Iran, particularly, the processes of image transference and its resulting forms of visualizing crisis (Death of Neda Agha-Soltan), both in the country and abroad. The post-election frenzy also pushed me to think about the importance of digital media in the transference and recreation of information in other 'untouchable' or conflict-ridden areas of the world (Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen), and its role in the production of knowledge on war, martyrdom and trauma.
