Abstract:
In this seminar, we introduce a previous dialogic work, text and photography, held by the authors during 2014-2015. In so doing, we aim to interrogate it on its theoretical and methodological potentialities. On one hand, regarding its evocative power of embodied experience. On the other, about its epistemological formulations as a way of seeing and its participation on the building of “the real”. As a result, we elucidate if the former dialogue could be understood in the terms of a transformational method for “vilificated identities” such as “low vision” or disabled. Finally, the performances of such a “blinking sight” in the construction and controllability of reality.
