Title: The Metonymous Face.
Authors: Brilliant, Richard
Source: Social Research. Spring2000, Vol. 67 Issue 1, p25-46. 22p. 6 Black and White Photographs.
Subjects: Face, Photographs, Portraits, Caricatures & cartoons, Banda, H. Kamuzu (Hastings Kamuzu), d. 1997, Police artists
Geographic Terms: Malawi
Abstract: This article discusses various representations of the human face. a photograph of the tondo portraits of Malawi President Kamuzu Banda emblazoned on the costumes of his female followers during a rally is contrasted with the repetitive, highly conventional and partial portrait of Banda. By conventional treatment, profiles establish a third-person relationship between the subject and the viewer, rarely encountered for long in life. Caricature constitutes a particularly limited, but intensive form of expression. Certain features of an individual are exaggerated but still maintain sufficient likeness to be identified. Interest in the criminal face as a diagnostic key, and the police artist's attempt to capture a criminal's appearance from verbal testimony both acknowledge the existence of a facial and cranial semiotic that goes beyond observations in the field. Physiognomics is a much more practical science which purports to analyze significant zones and features of the face, categorize them as vehicles of expression and then qualify them as manifestations of character.
