What does the term - the other - stands for in Art?

Answer 1

The concept of the "Other" is related to the ways that individuals or groups define the positive aspects of their existence by the ways in which they differ from individual or group. These "positive aspects" (which are often not inherently positive but only positive because the individual or group has valued them as such) can be economic class, race, religion, physical appearance, etc. The concept is probably too complex to explain here, but here's a very informative web page about it: http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~ulrich/rww03/othering.htm
