Lee Friedlander: American Monuments
I just got back from the Lee Friedlander photo exhibit at the Minnesota Art Institute. I knew nothing about Friedlander's work, but was drawn to the description of his interest in popular culture and photography as a medium. I was most pleasantly surprised by Friedlander's interest in American Monuments; his work seems potentially instructive for the Visual Culture and Language class and my work with Electronic Monuments. I should try a series of photos on Fargo's monuments.

If you are interested in national monuments, Chapter 1 of Lauren Berlant's The Queen of American Goes to Washington City discusses pilgrimages to DC and the use of monuments in them — in order to discuss the idea of an infantile citizen.
She also refers to
Scott Sandage "The Lincoln Memorial, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Politics of Memory, 1939-1963" in Journal of American History 80.1 (June 1993): 135-67
and
Benedict Anderson, "Republic, Aura, and Late Nationalist Imaginings" in Qui Parle 7.1 (fall/winter 1993): 1-21.
Though none of this regards electronic monuments, as far as I know.
