16 What’s Yours is Mine TARA TABASSI ‘Best Cover’ 20/3/<strong>2009</strong> <strong>IN</strong>TRODUCTION This essay explores the complexities of how identity and life are represented in media through analysis and assessment of Cathy Newman’s 182
16 What’s Yours is Mine 183 Special Report: A Life Revealed, featured in National Geographic’s (NatGeo) April 2002 edition. Situating Myself I remember, as a young girl, the day I turned the NatGeo page and saw the famous photograph popularly termed ‘Afghan Girl.’ I cut out the arresting photo and hung it on my wall, where it remained until I moved away. I was just one girl, ignorant of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the impact on Afghani people: attaching my own specific meaning to the photograph. The act of cutting out her picture and looking at it for years, however, is where the analysis of ownership and objectification begins. The ‘Afghan Girl’ was utilized to operate within a storyline representing specific Afghani refugee populations to the West, and commercialised to sell everything from calendars to coasters. The character Chacko from God of Small Things articulated imperialism as, ‘What’s yours is mine, and what is mine is mine also’ (Roy 1997:57). This verbalization expresses the problematic role of media as a holder of representations along with media-consumers’ ownership of publicised images and experiences. Only later in life did the historical role of images, articles and particularly the function of NatGeo as an ‘educational source’ for developing ideology in Western adults and youth become clear. I situate myself in this essay as a participant in this Western ideology; Iranian- American raised in the Netherlands, sitting in my middle-class apartment bedroom gazing at the green eyes of the ‘Afghan Girl,’ allocating my interpretations of her reality and feelings to a photograph – a photograph that now, as a graduate student, I am critiquing through a reflexive process. Interest in Piece Johnstone’s exploration of the function of narration (‘talking about the past is apparently something all humans do’) was elaborated by Rosen’s ‘autobiographical impulse’ – the ‘urge to make our lives coherent by telling about them’ (Johnstone 2001:640-1). Linde further expands their ideas: ‘In order to exist in the social world with a comfortable sense of being a good, socially proper, and stable person, an individual needs to have a coherent, acceptable and constantly revised life-story’ (ibid). If stories are living and changing as products of social life, what then is the power of discourse in arresting development? Examining NatGeo’s role
