DESCRIPTION:AHCS Speaker Series\, Winter 2013\n\nFred Turner\n\n'The Family
  of Man and the Politics of Attention in Cold War America'\n\nAbstract: In
  1955\, the Museum of Modern Art mounted one of the most widely seen – and
  widely excoriated – photography exhibitions of all time\, The Family of M
 an. For the last forty years\, critics have decried the show as a model of
  the psychological and political repression of cold war America. This talk
  challenges that view. It shows how the immersive\, multi-image aesthetics
  of the exhibition emerged not from the cold war\, but from the World War 
 II fight  against fascism. It then demonstrates that The Family of Man aim
 ed to liberate the senses of visitors and especially\, to enable them to e
 mbrace racial\, sexual and cultural diversity – even as it enlisted their 
 perceptual faculties in new modes of collective self-management. For these
  reasons\, the talk concludes\, the exhibition became an influential proto
 type of the immersive\, multi-media environments of the 1960s – and of our
  own multiply mediated social world today.\n\nCo-sponsored with Media@McGi
