Mar 22: Iconographic Tracking
Dear All,
In tomorrow's class, we will try on Laurie Gries's methodology, "iconographic tracking," for ourselves. Gries describes this as an approach that "elucidates how images become rhetorical and iconic in the sense that, once actualized in multiple versions, they become not only actants capable of catalyzing change and producing space and time, but also readily recognized and culturally or politically significant to a wide cultural group" ("Iconographic Tracking," 110).
See you then!
