Abstract

Recent research on visually mediated activism has focused on visual practices as forms of political expression. Conversely, this article will demonstrate that visuality is not only used for protest mobilisation, but that it also plays a significant role in solidifying movement-internal collective identity through a set of distinct visual rituals that produce a shared understanding through affect. Based on an ethnography of everyday visual practices and social experiences of visuality (online and offline) in the Save Movement's ‘Pig Save’ protest events, we identify three forms of affective visual rituals: (1) witnessing; (2) mourning; and (3) semiotic rituals. We argue that these visual rituals are not only expressions of shared values, but construct collective political identity through backstage visual emotion work (affect).

死猪相册:集体身份形成中的情感视觉仪式

最近对视觉媒介行动主义的研究主要集中在视觉实践作为政治表达的形式。相反，本文将证明视觉性不仅用于抗议动员，而且通过一系列独特的视觉仪式，通过情感产生共同的理解，它在巩固运动内部集体身份方面也发挥着重要作用。基于拯救运动“拯救猪”抗议活动中日常视觉实践和视觉社会经验(线上和线下)的民族志，我们确定了三种形式的情感视觉仪式:(1)见证;(2)哀悼;(3)符号学仪式。我们认为，这些视觉仪式不仅是共同价值观的表达，而且是通过后台视觉情感工作(affect)构建集体政治认同的。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Cultural Studies is committed to rethinking cultural practices, processes, texts and infrastructures beyond traditional national frameworks and regional biases. The journal publishes theoretical, empirical and historical analyses that interrogate what culture means, and what culture does, across global and local scales of power and action, diverse technologies and forms of mediation, and multiple dimensions of performance, experience and identity. Dedicated to theoretical and methodological innovation in cultural research, the journal is multidisciplinary in outlook, publishing relevant contributions that integrate approaches from the social sciences, humanities, information sciences and more. International Journal of Cultural Studies publishes original research articles. The journal gives preference to papers that extend existing theory or generate new theory through interpretive engagement with empirical cases. Papers based on single country case-studies should clearly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses for an international readership. The journal does not publish close readings of single texts; but it does consider critical, contextualised readings that similarly indicate and develop the broader relevance of their analyses to the field. International Journal of Cultural Studies regularly publishes special issues on urgent questions in the field as well as on specific regions, industries and practices.
