Discourse on history and culture continues to unfold on the postage stamp, a familiar visual form that is more than a square inch of sticky paper. Although today it faces stiff competition from the electronic mail, automatic or metered stamps and courier services, it remains a miniature genre in the context of visual culture.
My project explores the ways in which stamps could be thought to possess performative qualities, literally and metaphorically. I shall focus on stamps depicting historical events, scenic spots and indigenous peoples of and on the Cordillera, north Luzon, Philippines in the light of American colonialism and its vestiges today. The stamp and those which belong to what Nicholas Mirzoeff calls the territory of visual culture is defined not so much by its medium but by the interaction between the viewer and viewed. This visual event, according to Mirzoeff involves the interaction of the visual sign, the enabling and sustaining mechanism of the sign and the viewer. In other words, it constructs an image of something and reveals the workings of power within that image. Through Barthean semiotics and Foucauldian discourse, I show how the study of visual texts provides an ongoing interrogation of cultural products and how these circulate and negotiate identities and nation-ness within an increasingly global capitalist economy.
