CIN312Y1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Double Bind, Digital Footprint
Document Summary
High school is edited according to a theory (wiseman) As a result, they are purposefully confused. Double bind students find themselves in positions where they are forced to respond to. But they cannot draw attention to contradictory messages. And they cannot withdraw from the situation. They are bound to the terms of such nonsensical exchanges. The double bind is built on linguistic absurdities . The misuse of language is a key to maintaining power. Settings and situations can be redefined constantly. Traditionally, archival footage referred to stored physical materials. Archives: controlled by the state or other institutions. Official repositories of audiovisual evidence about the past. Location, origin, authority defined this type of archive. Private photographic, filmic, video, audio, and digital traces. These works rely upon the found-ness of their raw material. It is then reset in a new domain. Seeing as viewers must recognize the archival as such. Black and white, fading colours, gauge, etc.
