We will take as our starting point two recent texts that articulate and demonstrate her approach to the efficacies of images. Participants are expected to have read these in advance of the discussion and bring their questions and comments about these texts\, as well as other related concerns\, to the table – this is not a lecture but an opportunity for informal interaction. \nThe texts are: \n“Publicity and Territoriality in Social Media’s Mise-en-Scène\,” Borderlines (online journal) series on “Technopolitics of the Global South\,” Dec. 3\, 2025: https://borderlines-cssaame.org/posts/2025/10/22/publicity-and-territoriality-in-social-medias-mise-en-scne \nChapter 1: “Statues and Sculptors\,” Gods in the Time of Democracy\, Durham: Duke University Press\, 2021\, 29-80: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TyBGgulBvyLseN5a-8IevuM5ibGKQ7Fy/view?usp=drive_link   \n  \nWe warmly encourage interested students\, researchers\, and faculty to join us. \nHoping to see you there! \n  \nWarm regards\, \nVisual Arts Department
