About the Research ‘The Image of Obama’
This research in the areas of visual culture, in the intersection of Art History, Anthropology and Humanities, investigates on the popular visual culture of contemporary United States of America, a case study on Obama- the Image of Obama. The context here is specifically focused on the popular visual culture, on the images that has been reflected from the individuals of the larger society, representing their Hope and Dreams through the visuals of Obama. This in turns develops into an icon making process. An Icon who is challenging as a Political leader is in turn been accepted and reflected as a cultural hero. This transmigrating evolution of the iconography is the investigation that this research debates as cultural tool ‘The Image of Obama’.
To participate as a panelist: Please confirm your interest by contacting Unni Krishnan K at unni...@gmail.com by July 8th so that we can reserve a space for the event. In your email please provide UK a short proposal and three dates of availability on which you could participate (late afternoon weekdays mid-July through the end of July).
