Butler: Image and Viewer

As many noted on their blog about the "image" analysis by Butler, I also found this very interesting and seemingly convincing. I agree with the Butler with her explanation on the relationship between the subject of an image and a viewer. Although the viewer is unrepresented in the image itself. The viewer's self, knowledge, experience, and emotion would take a great role in determining the subject of the image that he or she is looking at for him/herself. In this case, one's "being" takes a part of an agent in explaining the meaning and subject of an image.

I especially agree to Emily's blog with the application of Bulter's analysis to Benviniste's subjectivity. When I was reading Bulter, I also thought about the relationship between subjectivity and language "I".
