Harry Mattison: "Some Things We Can Learn from Images of War"

1 1 59689 Harry Mattison: "Some Things We Can Learn from Images of War" In conjunction with the exhibition Inside El Salvador, the Harry Ransom Center presents photographer Harry Mattison for “Some Things We Can Learn from Images of War” on Tuesday, April 15, at 6:30 p.m. in the CMA Auditorium at The University of Texas at Austin. Mattison will address some of the fundamental questions regarding the relationship between photography and the suffering of violence and armed conflict: What purposes do the images of violence serve, and what roles can the photographer, the subjects, and the viewer be assigned in the interpretation of such documents?  What does it mean to be an "eye-witness"? If a photograph conveys meaning, whom does it address and why?   This free lecture takes place in CMA A2.320, located in the Jesse H. Jones Communication Center–A on the corner of 23rd and Whitis streets. Inside El Salvador, opening April 17, chronicles the height of the civil war in El Salvador in the early 1980s and depicts those directly involved with the conflict and the war’s effects on the civilian population. http://do512.com/event/2008/04/15/harry-mattison-some-things-we-can-learn-from-images-of-war http://do512.com/event/2008/04/15/harry-mattison-some-things-we-can-learn-from-images-of-war.xml Tuesday 04/15/08 20080415T233000Z/20080415T233000Z false 0 0.0 06:30 PM Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:30:00 -0500 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 18:30:00 -0500 0 TUE http://s3.amazonaws.com/do512/photos/42955/HarryMattisonKUT_sq_90.jpg Jesse H.
