DESCRIPTION:Abstract : Photography mediates our experience of the world an
 d our understanding of socio-political events. Beyond our cognitive judgme
 nts about the images we consume in the mdeia\, we respond and relate to (v
 isual) politics in visceral\, embodied ways. We will present a series of p
 sychological and psychophysiological studies that investigate how visceral
  responses influence our judgments about photojournalistic images. Taken t
 ogether our findings highlight the role of embodiment in determining our b
 eliefs about realness in a political culture powered by images.\n\nBio: Ma
