Abstract

The starting point of this article is a photograph taken at the Rally to Condemn Israel held in Taksim Square in 1996. The photograph of three children holding banners is found in a newspaper clipping kept in a family archive. Two different images evoked by the photograph in the newspaper clipping were include in the study designed as a visual culture analysis. Three photographs that violate the ideal of the child and the citizen of the family and the nation state are brought together in the civic space of the gaze. The photographs in the article, which is constructed as a practice of thinking through images, are interpreted in a way that enables the production of new knowledge rather than evidence.
