(1997) ‘The spectacle of the “other”’ in Hall, S. (ed.) Representation: Cultural Representations and Signifying Practices. London/Thousand Oaks, CA.

Where did popular figures and stereotypes come from?

How do we class ‘otherness’?

What is ‘other’?

Henrietta Lidchi looked at the Ethnographic museum (a national museum in Budapest, Hungary) and their project on “The West” from other cultures depict how the west live, racial and ethnic differences being prominent.

In “The chemical Olympics” magazine, a lead story was based on “Drug taking in athletes” specifically talking about Ben Johnson, when he used drugs to enhance his performance. Looking at the picture above before you knew that information, you could say it’s message is; ‘A triumphant moment for Johnson’ however when you know its also captioned ‘heros and villians’, it changes the meaning. When you are more informed, it could suggest that no matter what colour or race you are, everyone is susceptible to being a villain OR hero.

At a devotive level the image is “a picture of the 100 metres race”, however on a connotative level or sub theme being the drug story is ‘race’ and ‘difference’. Having these 2 meanings gives the magazine the choice with what to play on, giving the image a ‘preferred meaning’.

Similarly Linford Christie won the 100 meters as well, while on the British team. Some where racial to him, arguing he was not British. In answer to this, he explained he was born in Jamaica and lived there until he was seven when he moved to live in the UK. He was a British citizen 27 years before he won the medal. Just because he was not ‘white’ do not mean he should be ‘othered’ by our western society.

It is something that is both necessary and dangerous. Without it ‘meaning’ would not exist, however it is far to easy for us to compare, which can digress to a negative. “we can only construct meaning through dialogue with “other” explains Mikhal Bakhtin.
