Blog Prompt #1: Persepolis, Joan Scott, & Visual Culture

By 9 pm on Thursday May 27, please post a 600-word (min) response to the following prompt:

In Joan Scott's essay "The Evidence of Experience," what is Scott's critique of the relationship between vision and knowledge/evidence? How is Scott's critique of visuality/visibility politics and the "rescue missions" of searching for those "hidden from history" at work in Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud's film Persepolis (2007)? How does the film engage with and/or critique various visual mediums (graphic novels, film, photography, live theater/drama, television, etc.)?

Remember to link to at least 1 visual text and explain how it relates to the content of your post and the issues we've been discussing in class.
