Conferenza On Home, Longing, and the Photograph

Programma

This lecture explores the relationship between home, memory, and the photograph through an exploration of the way in which home-traces touch the longing, nostalgic self.   Home-traces become apparitions of “home”—a way of being, location, country, or a past suffused with familiarity and a sense of belonging—that is no longer.  The series Other Stories/Historias Bravas by Ecuadorian-American artist, Koyoltzintli, is interpreted as photographic fabulation in response to home-traces.  Photographic fabulation is an aesthetic praxis through which a self creates a story with images in order to contend with personal and collective histories, especially those marked by displacement as well as colonial erasures.

The Emotional Aspects of Resistance and Solidarity

dal

The conference "TEARS - The Emotional Aspects of Resistance and Solidarity" aims to bring together doctoral students, researchers, and scholars whose work on the socio-political aspects of narrative practices, affect, and emotions can offer illuminating perspectives on some of the issues addressed by the TEARS research project. Specifically: affective dimensions of resistance to social oppression (race, class, gender, sexuality, neurodiversity, etc.); affective conditions for solidarity; the role of narrative practices in resistance to oppression; ambiguity and resistance to oppression.
