Talking Eyes Lecture Series 2012

Talking Eyes Lecture Series 2012 “Talking Eyes” references Irit Rogoff's notion of the "curious eye" as distinct from the "eye of connoisseurship".

The Research Group “Visual Culture” of the Graduate Research Group "Gender as a Category of Knowledge" (Humboldt-University of Berlin) proudly announces the Lecture Series „Talking Eyes“ for the summer term 2012. In response to the continued discursive distinction between “high” and “low” art (Rogoff 2002), this series seeks to encourage the use of "curious eyes" by providing a platform to foregro

und marginalised discourses. Six evening lectures will enter the visual realm, zooming in on the subject about whom is typically discussed. These figures are beheld via an embodied gaze, introducing questions about pornotopic, forensic, clinical and military detection; surveillance and disease control; and sexuality, crime and war. “Talking eyes” that manifest themselves in the body evoke a desire to unite image and language and open a space to engage more closely with affective dimensions of images and their production. Discussions on the strategies and limitations of representational practices and interventions will be synchronised and positioned next to technological aspects of image production. The ‘Talking Eyes’ lecture series, to be held at various venues throughout Berlin, will hopefully intrude and break up and thereby re-animate old and new debates in visual culture, as well as inspire exciting and relevant research.
