Abstract

The film Reassemblage by the Vietnamese film maker and feminist theorist Trinh T. Minh-ha, is a work which makes demands on the perception of the North American "self" in relation to the Asian and African "other". As such it has aided in my personal quest to understand art work which challenges Euro-centrism. This thesis is an exploration of how Trinh T. Minh-ha's film and writings have raised my awareness. It is also an investigation of the use of Trinh T. minh-has's film to challenge the assumptions and expand the receptivity on Art Education students to issues of difference and representation in art.
