Discussion
Moving the (b)order
COLONY, 1. Country
conquered through violent power and being exploited by an imperialist state; 2.
People of a colonized country; 3. Settlement, a country and/or part of a
country, where immigrant settlers have established a settlement; 4. A place of
detainees, area where hostages are kept; 5. Pl. population of a colonized
country; 6. Refugees; 7. (in biology) Separate cells which have united to form
a whole single mass; 8. Hospital where people who suffer from the same disease
are isolated and treated; 9. See children’s detention center.
(Modern Armenian explanatory dictionary, Eduard
Bagrati Aghayan. “Armenia” Publishing House, Yerevan, 1976. )
If a colony is a settlement - a dominion -
formed on ‘foreign’ land, what are the borders of colonizing and being
colonized, and when do we become aware of the fact or intention of
transgressing those (b)orders? To what extent do settler communities serve
imperialist ambitions and is it possible at all to deconstruct the colonized
body and create a space where identity can take shape? For example, what kind
of re/presen(ce)tation or ex(ample)ception does femininity have in patriarchal
societies and when does it become possible to represent/imagine the feminine
form independent from the colonizer’s gaze. Is it possible to actually live in
a home where the invader-colonizer teaches us the art of self-colonization?
Moving more concretely toward the
moving image, it seems almost certain that particular images/walls and methods
of representation reproduce themselves, creating colonies of mass media, which
stand upon a variation of realities, thereby establishing a dominant reality.
Beyond the colonized reality, in the artifactual and artistic sphere, images
move (b)orders, on the road between migration and immigration, not finding
their final place, devoid of the desire to take root and survive, but rather
always existing inside the dance of being.
