Mari Kuttna

In this course

Mari Kuttna was a respected British film critic and translator who contributed to major journals like Sight and Sound before her death in 1983, and whose memory inspired the establishment of the Power Institute's lecture series on media and image theory. Baudrillard's "The Evil Demon of Images" was delivered as the inaugural Mari Kuttna Memorial Lecture, suggesting her work on cinema and visual culture created the intellectual ground for critical interrogations of representation and simulation. She appears in the course readings primarily as a commemorative figure whose legacy anchored discussions of how images shape consciousness and meaning-making in modern society.
