Pedagogies and Politics of the Frame
RUTH BUCHANAN*
INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD as a particular way of
seeing the world that is both a pedagogical and a political project. It frames the
citizens of underdeveloped states as subjects, available to be both seen and
known in particular ways that have important implications for governance and
law. This Special Issue approaches development as a discourse and as a set of
practices that encompass a way of seeing and operate as a frame through
which the subjects of development are apprehended and acted upon. It directs
attention towards the visual economy of development policy and practice and
to the ways in which the creation and circulation of images have long played
a role in development. In this way, this Special Issue seeks to extend both the
substantive and methodological orientation of the field of law and development
I am indebted to the authors who contributed essays to this collection, as well as to the
participants in the Workshop at Osgoode Hall Law School at which most of these papers
were originally presented in draft. That workshop and its research, of which this Introduction
is a part, are funded by an SSHRC Insight Grant for Visualizing Development. The
Introduction was written with the excellent research assistance of Osgoode JD student
Madison Bruno.
