Symposium Visual Culture/s

In cooperation with the Department of Cultural

Anthropology and the Department of History, the

Department of American Studies is pleased to announce

an interdisciplinary Visual Culture Symposium. The

event will feature the academic research and artistic

work of a variety of local and international scholars and

artists.

This interdisciplinary research symposium will provide

an opportunity for contemporary critical debates about

visual culture/s, encouraging dynamic thought on the

‘visual’ from a range of different perspectives and

across diverse geographical locations. How does visual

culture influence everyday cultural practice? Which

political or social thoughts are negotiated by means of

visual representations?

Contributors will give lively 30 min. papers and engage

in a discussion on how visual cultures are positioned in

their fields of research.

While we welcome traditional academic papers, we also

encourage creative methods of delivery that may include

performance and visual arts approaches.
