The session invites papers and studies dedicated to interrogation of the impacts of the use of visual histories in the context of and postcolonial nationalist narratives. In particular the session invites papers of scholars who work with visual data originating from visual (colonial) archives and maps.
Qualitative, quantitative and theoretical studies are welcome.

Some key questions addressed in this session:

1. How do we interpret colonial imagery in different visual media( photographs, paintings, and maps)?
2. How do we analyze colonial orders of things as seen through archival productions?
3. To what extent postcoloniality is different from other media and knowledge terrains when it comes to matters of visualizing history?
4. How do situated ways of engaging with images influence the narratives produced?
