John LucaitesNo Caption Needed: Iconic Photographs, Public Culture, and Liberal DemocracyThursday, April 30, 2009, John Lucaites, Dept. of Communication & Culture, spoke on his book, No Caption Needed: Iconic Photographs, Public Culture, and Liberal Democracy, with Robert Hariman. Consider some of the iconic photos and what they say and what is left unsaid. Some of the photos are a sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square at the end of World War II, Dorothea Lange’s photo of the gaunt woman in the Depression, and the naked Vietnamese girl running in terror from a napalm attack. Professor Lucaites was a Poynter Center Fellow in 2006-07, when the topic was “Memory: Ethics, Politics, Aesthetics.”
