Classroom Portraits, from 2004 - Julian Germain

Classroom Portraits, from 2004

Julian Germain

This ongoing series began in schools in North East England in 2004 and was extended to schools throughout the UK the following year. Since 2005 the archive has grown to include schools from North and South America, Europe and the Middle East.

“….the power of the images is in their direct connection to the viewer. We remember our own schooldays and wonder what happened to our own classmates. By presenting different pupils, different schools, different year groups, Germain asks questions about contemporary educational practices and social divisions. Already we can imagine the life trajectories of some of these young people. Here are faces full of hope and promise. Here also, is the silent threat of failure. Aspiration competes with apathy…..”

Red Feather: An International Journal of Children's Visual Culture

Red Feather is an online, international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for scholars and professionals to interrogate representations of children in film, television, Cyberspace, video gaming or any other visual medium where the image of the child is featured. Red Feather facilitates an international dialogue among scholars and professionals through vigorous discussion of the intersections between the child and the conception of childhood, children's material culture, children and politics, the child body, and any other interactions with the child image within local, national, and global contexts.

The journal invites critical and/or theoretical examination of the child image to further our understanding of the circulation, consumption, and representation of the child throughout the world's visual mediums. Some sample topics include, but are certainly not limited to: studies of images of children of color; child as commodity; images of children in Africa, Asia, Middle East; political uses of the child image; children in film around the world; children in advertising; visual adaptations of children's literary works; child welfare; children and war; or any other critical examination of the child image in a variety of visual mediums.

Blog renovado!!!

O blog está de roupa nova essa semana.

A foto é de duas crianças Peruanas, localizadas mais ou menos a 250km de Cusco e a 4900m de altitude. Na ocasião, o fotógrafo registrava uma cerimônia chamada "Senhor de Coyllorrity".

Não sei exatamente o que me impressionou nesta imagem, simplesmente me encantou ver as duas meninas juntas observando as montanhas. Me expressou um profundo sentimento de amizade... independente da localização.

A imagem é de Antonio Carlos Ferreira Banavita, que gentilmente me autorizou o uso de sua imagem no blog.

No site Olhar Indígena podem conferir seus vídeos e fotos de povos indígenas (não inclui essa e outras fotos do Peru).

Espero que tenham gostado da mudança!!!
