‘The Event of Photography as a Critical Research Methodology’
The paper will consider the use of Ariella Azoulay’s proposition of the ‘event of photography’ as a critical research method and curatorial framework to explore the affective meanings of photographs in the context of the aftermath of the Troubles signalled by the Good Friday Agreement. The paper will present some of the implications of staging the ‘event of photography’ to explore the political temporality of post Agreement. It will explore how the ‘event of photography’ as site of assembly and space of discourse provided the conditions for a discussion of the affective meanings of the work of six photographers - John Duncan, Kai Olaf Hesse, Mary McIntyre, David Farrell, Paul Seawright and Malcolm Craig Gilbert.
