Session: Visual Production and Social Disaster

Chairs:  Pelin Tan (Istanbul Technical University-Institute of Social 
Sciences) and Dee Britton (Colgate University)

Social disasters are events that that cause collapse of anticipated 
social protections and therefore transform the normative 
public/private division. Social disasters alter human actions, 
interactions, social institutions and community narrative. This 
session will examine how visual representations of social disasters 
are produced and how those representations impact social interaction, 
social structure, and the establishment of a collective memory of the disaster.
