Visual culture and militarization: A case of Kashmiri Women
Abstract
The paper is an attempt to understand the complex intersection between visual culture and militarization. In order to comprehend this interface between these two delicate terrains, the paper would site two cases which occurred in the context of Kashmir in recent past. Therefore, the paper would take readers through the comparative analysis of two important events premised on the women bodies and their politics. The two important events allow us to see, how Kashmiri women are framed in visual culture, and how media apparatuses reinforce patriarchy on Kashmiri women. It also attempts to address, how militarization as a dominant phenomenon challenges the theories of visual culture or helps in theorizing the significant aspects of visual culture, and its discursive significance in the context of Kashmir. Image verses text has remained a heated debate among the advocates of visual culture. To this end, analysis has been done at two levels A) Linguistic analysis. B) Visual analysis, so that we can locate Kashmiri women both in textual and visual discourses.
