Description
Acts of Seeing, Ways of Knowing refracts the nineteenth and twentieth centuries history of India through reception of the first two 'mass' forms of visual culture, photography and posters (those with the capacity to produce multiple copies). India's responses to a changing public world are revealed, intriguingly, through this visual-culture repertoire. Production and consumption of these material objects revolve especially around visual culture's capacity to prompt and express identity-narratives that draw on the nexus of a dramatic expansion of consumption practices with individual efforts to construct meaning by collecting, displaying, designing, and interacting with mass-produced materials. They emerge as markers of those intending to be good, modern, citizens, who are drawn, significantly, from both middle- and lower-class/caste participants.
