although their anxiety not to see also served to reproduce racialised modes of seeing. In different contexts, the material has also shown the enduring power of certain racialised imaginings. This ties into another important area of my research, which I have not been able to touch on here, that of racialised geographies. But what if I were to step back from this research and consider the resonances between my work and the kind of work that many of you are involved in development? The objective of my research has been to try to understand how identities and subjectivities are formed within discursive practices. In this paper, I have tried to examine the ways in which perceptual practices are racialised. They are also classed and gendered, although I have not had time to discuss this here. Clearly development is engaged with and likely to have an impact on people’s and societies identities so this is an important area which needs to be understood. At the same time, development practitioners and institutions are also engaged in and formed by discursive and perceptual practices which would merit examination. Bibliography Alibhai-Brown, Y.
