well choose one subject is complex... but i think the subject it had a really importance in this semester it is about the images.
The images have for me a incalculate burden of means, as it says Roland Barthes, the images have a double edge, they show the reality, what has happened, what was there, but at the same time, its means can be changed if it used with a purpouse.
For example, it's not the same a single image, than a image with text ...or a cover of the magazine.... or newspaper images, even the images of a book. All this images are acompained for a text, text that they give them news means, meanings directed towards politicals speeches.
If we a take a picture like the humans zoos, we read in first place a indigenous put on the scene, keeping a pose with few clothes, with weapons like arrows and spears.
This kind of picture, for me, was the real sample of the colonialism, it is a sample of a thinking racist, how they expose and explote this people backin up on science, how to show this culture like a wils and animals, and as an extinct people. This it was the sample how a images can be a contribution for learning and history or not, even give us a misinformation. this kind of picture don't talk nothing about this culture, the closeth and weapons it's not the reals and the history behind this forced travels it's horrible and inhuman.
