Todays COP session was once again heavily linked in with the previous lecture which was to do with Identity, but we also looked into something closely related to identity which is the idea of Otherness. Which is how other people and how we want other people to perceive us.
We were going to be looking mainly at the three main things listed below:
The Other
Creation of Identities
Concepts of Otherness
We were then split into pairs to discuss the following topics:
Analyses of visual examples (what makes you - You?):
- Family
- Friends
- Possessions
- Interests
- Hobbies
- Experiences
- Background
- Location
How do you express your Identity?:
- Mannerisms
- Social Interactions
- Possessions
- Hobbies
- Ethics
- Clothes
- Fashion
- Brands
- Social Groups
Subjectivity
Jaques LACAN:
- Process from psychoanalysis
- the 'Hommelette'
- the mirror stage
Sense of Self:
- an illusion of Wholeness
- receiving views from others
Problems:
- Relies on the assumptions of opposites and radical otherness
