Images and their mattering in a digitalized world<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah Awad<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aalborg University<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this talk, Sarah Awad examines how we use images to symbolically and materially act on the world, others, and ourselves, and how, in return, the images surrounding us shape our thoughts, emotions and memories. Drawing on examples from different social contexts and a variety of image genres such as protest images, political campaigns, photojournalism, and social media memes, the talk will tackle the democratizing and polarizing potential of images for social and political action and address the question of: how and when do images matter and influence us psychologically, despite their abundance in today\u2019s digital visual cultures?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
