Indexical Realism during Socialism: Documenting and Remembering the 'Everyday Realities' of Late Socialist Romania through Photographs

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper focuses on photography of everyday life in late socialist Romania, analyzing the photographic production of artists and vernacular photographs from private scrapbooks and collections. On a theoretical level, it disentangles questions concerning the production of ideological images; the political dimension of the act of photographing/documenting everyday life; the relationship between photography and cultural memory; the question of the forbidden gaze and the &apos;reality&apos; of the visual document. The argument is that realism can be seen as a proclivity of certain kinds of photographs rather than inextricably associated with the medium of photography as such (the so-called &apos;indexical realism&apos;). Supported by an in-depth analysis of visual sources and semi-structured interviews with visual artists active during those years, this paper highlights the relationship between photography and cultural hegemony and zooms in on the photograph&apos;s mnemonic abilities.
