Coming Soon...Kuhnian Tuesdays

So, in the spirit of Half-Nekkid Thursdays, and Friday Cat Blogging and Random Ten, I'm thinking about trying 'Kuhnian Tuesdays'. I had a research methods class this past year that discussed excerpts from Annette Kuhn's Family Secrets: Acts of Memory and Imagination and where we wrote our own Kuhnian meditation on a photograph as part of the end of year research methods project. This kind of relection, involves (or at least , my interpretation of which involves..) a description of the photograph; reflection from the perspective of the subject (or one of the subjects or even the photographer) on the moment at which the photgraph was taken; and even discussion of the equipment used in taking the picture and it's life after printing . In practice, I've found this incredibly interesting and useful in terms of thinking about the layers of history that exist within images; photographs as disclosers and guardians of secrets; and the way in which we describe photographs to eachother (the latter introduced to me by Shumi).
The idea is, that each Tuesday I will write, or will post those written by generous contributers, a meditation on a chosen picture. Do join in! It is ever so rewarding, especially if you are interested in memory work or the ideas surrounding memory work.
