It undertakes this in terms of the \u2018Minority World\u2019 and the \u2018Majority World\u2019 in order to challenge the assumptions of superiority and inferiority associated with traditional representations of \u2018First World\/Third World\u2019 or \u2018developed\/underdeveloped\u2019. Central to the discussion is the notion of a specific photographic point of view based on the author\u2019s background as a Minority World photographer who has undertaken extensive work in the Majority World.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imaging-famine.org\/blog\/index.php\/2010\/06\/representing-the-majority-world-famine-photojournalism-and-the-changing-visual-economy\/\" target=\"_blank\">See\u00a0the full\u00a0article<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After eight years work that included the Imaging Famine project, my PhD&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":204,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-196","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/djclark.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/djclark.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/djclark.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/djclark.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/djclark.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=196"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/djclark.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":310,"href":"https:\/\/djclark.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196\/revisions\/310"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/djclark.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/djclark.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=196"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/djclark.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=196"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/djclark.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=196"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
