1. Mediated memories: personal cultural memory as object of cultural analysis.
The title of the topic for this week: "the recording of everyday life" immediately reminds me of Dominic's wife (Inception) when she was sitting on the balcony and preparing to jump down . I have no idea why and what is the relation between everyday life and her, but i guess the fact that she lived her life under the lens of imagination and somehow it is just like the way we see ourselves in photograph. Yes, even though, photos say a lot about us, the lens capture the best moments, detailed-moments or surreal moments of our life. Sometimes, they are too real to be true(I am not saying that they are fake). As it is said in the text, in photocentric culture, we dont merely see ourselves as ourselves but "a profound confusion of image and afterlife". we disguise our identities?
the question is "How did photography change the notion of the author?"
