SUMMARY:Photography and the Performance of Gender
DESCRIPTION:Persian woman in veil and pearls\, Antoin Sevruguin\n\nIn the e
 arly 19th century\, a new means of visual representation was introduced to
  the world – photography\, marking a new instrument for global contact 
 – of understanding new worlds\, geologies and cultural landscapes. Beyon
 d mere documentation\, photographs also produced and carried meaning\, sha
 ping and in some cases reinforcing our understanding of history\, culture\
 , society and more.\n\nIn this talk\, scholar Sarah Jabbari takes us throu
 gh her work studying gender representation in photography – what are the
  gender expectations of a photograph\, and how does it impose it? She achi
 eves this analysis by drawing parallels between select photographs of Pers
 ians in Iran and Parsis in India in the 19th century. Most of the selected
  photographs in Jabbari’s research have been captured by Antoin Sevrugui
 n in Iran\, and Raja Deen Dayal in the Indian context.\n\nThese photograph
 ers' approach to documenting their subjects lends itself well to a compara
 tive understanding that helps trace the spaces\, objects\, and activities 
 of gender in photography. For Jabbari\, the bringing together of these two
  groups in study\, is also driven by a desire to reimagine their reunion 
 – how can these photographs give us clues that help trace histories of m
 igration\, and to fill in gaps and moments of shared cultural histories th
 at define them and what they borrow from each other.
