Abstract

Abstract This essay explores the various modes of visualities and visual production in Kashmir. It begins with mapping the existing state visualities that use hypervisibilization, victimization, criminalization, and depoliticization as modalities to represent Kashmir. In recent years, long-standing counternarratives to these representations have met with increasing repression, engendering a visual stagnancy. Earlier, countervisuals by photojournalists confronted state visualities by directing the gaze toward Kashmiri bodies. This essay argues that the repeated production and circulation of these realistic images have also reached a point of visual fatigue. At this juncture of a seeming visual impossibility, the essay proposes creative configurations and visual imaginaries through artistic visioning as a means to continue the work of visual production.

克什米尔视觉笔记

本文探讨了克什米尔地区的各种视觉和视觉生产模式。它首先描绘了现有的国家形象，这些形象使用过度可视化、受害化、犯罪化和非政治化作为代表克什米尔的方式。近年来，长期以来对这些表述的反叙事遭遇了越来越多的压制，造成了视觉上的停滞。早些时候，摄影记者通过将目光转向克什米尔人的身体，来对抗国家的视觉效果。本文认为，这些现实主义影像的重复生产和流通也达到了视觉疲劳的程度。在这个看似视觉不可能的时刻，本文提出通过艺术视觉的创造性配置和视觉想象作为继续视觉生产工作的手段。

期刊介绍： A respected forum since 1962 for peer-reviewed work in English literary studies, English Language Notes - ELN - has undergone an extensive makeover as a semiannual journal devoted exclusively to special topics in all fields of literary and cultural studies. ELN is dedicated to interdisciplinary and collaborative work among literary scholarship and fields as disparate as theology, fine arts, history, geography, philosophy, and science. The new journal provides a unique forum for cutting-edge debate and exchange among university-affiliated and independent scholars, artists of all kinds, and academic as well as cultural institutions. As our diverse group of contributors demonstrates, ELN reaches across national and international boundaries.
