Erika Larsson
BA, MA, PhD-student, and teacher in Art History and Visual Studies.
My research interests include theories of photography and globalization. I have previously lived, studied and worked in different places around the world and I am interested in how wider globalized phenomena incarnate differently in different places. For my thesis I am looking at how contemporary photographers engage themselves with transforming ideas around cultural identity and belonging in Turkey and elsewhere. I am also interested in theories of visuality that go beyond familiar understandings of images as objects of representations and instead see images (in particular photographs) as embodied, situated and incarnated performances.
I teach at Masters-level on the subjects of photography, globalization and non-representational theory. I am also responsible for the course "Critical Approaches to Globalization in Visual Culture", which is offered as an elective course in the Masters program Visual Culture
