FEMALE ICONS / PERFORMING EVIDENCE: AUGUSTINE ---------------------------------------------- As a part of the LIVING ROOM LECTURE SERIES, De Geuzen welcomes Anke Bangma FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2007 {AT} 14:30 The event will be streamed live from Rotterdam at: http://www.geuzen.org/female_icons A chat channel will be open for the duration of the lecture. Performing Evidence: Augustine As the veritable 'star' of the photographic iconography of hysteria that was assembled under the direction of Jean-Martin Charcot in the late 19th century, Augustine has become an icon of a particular fantasy of femininity. Her photographs have been a source of inspiration as well as intense critical debate, both then and now. But Augustine also represents a particular fantasy of scientific representation, and exposes in an exemplary way how the scientific apparatus produces the phenomena it claims to merely examine. Anke Bangma (NL) is a cultural theorist and independent curator based in Rotterdam. She is currently co-editing a book project around language, memory and the body (forthcoming 2007) and developing an exhibition with the working title 'Performing Evidence' for Smart Project Space in Amsterdam (forthcoming 2008).
