Legitimacy?
Peaceful representations By his painted strokes. Kristina Decker University College Cork, Ireland I am writing my dissertation on the series of ceiling paintings by Vincenzo Waldré, in St. Patrick’s Hall, Dublin Castle that depict peaceful interactions between the Irish and English and benefits brought to Ireland through its connection with Britain, and how these paintings work to legitimize British political authority in Ireland in the context of the late eighteenth century.

And so do most photographs. And that’s my story. Andrew Campbell University of Michigan Dissertation title: ‘Negotiating the Archive: Photography, Authority, and Cultural Memory, 1861–1876’ (1999) My dissertation explored two federally funded archives — one a group of 400 surgical photographs begun during the Civil War, the other a group of geological survey photographs taken down the Colorado River in 1872 — and argued that one couldn’t explore the latter without considering the former. What seem like two discrete bodies of knowledge aren’t — and their troubling relationship illustrates the tremendous trauma, physical and psychological, of the war. pilgrimage badges
