> The Pleasure and Persuasion of Lens-Based Media
> Friday 28 November 2008, 10.00–18.00
>
> Media-culture is an undeniable force in our lives. Its pervasive and
> pleasurable power has primarily been located in discourses on
> 'spectacle' and the persistent connections between social space,
> technology and dominance. However, when traditional modes of critique
> produce a media-culture, the question of how our experiences of images
> constitute the political is imperative.
>
> This conference, organized by the research group Curating Video,
> brings together an international field of researchers from the realms
> of cultural studies, visual art, psychoanalysis, and political
> philosophy to explore new contexts and issues that are crucial to
> understanding the experience and meaning of images. Speakers include
> Amanda Beech, Bridget Crone, Graham Harman, Jaspar Joseph-Lester,
> Sharon Kivland, Norman Klein, Suhail Malik, Uriel Orlow, Matthew Poole
> and Johanna Sumiala.
> 'Curating Video' is a collaboration between The University of Essex,
> Sheffield Hallam University, and Wimbledon and Chelsea College of Art,
> University of the Arts London.
>
> Tate Britain Auditorium
> £35 (£25 concessions), booking recommended
> Includes drinks reception at the launch of the new book 'Episode:
> Pleasure and Persuasion in Lens-Based Media'.
