Reminder
Sri Lanka’s visual identity – from Ceylon tea to Tamil Tigers, Thursday 24 November, 15.30 - 16:30, S1 Seminar Room, Alison Richard Building, 7 West Road, Cambridge.
Abstract: Issues of imperial and national representations of Ceylon / Sri Lanka’s cultural and economic traditions and of recent military conflict are discussed in this lecture in relation to specific cinematic narratives, from colonial documentaries to TV reportages. (Participants might find some of the images disturbing). This talk is part of the Visual rhetoric and Modern South Asian history series (Michaelmas 2016) that offers practical and theoretical approaches to old and new media literacies required when exploring the visual dimension of modern South Asian history. The series is hosted by the Centre of South Asian Studies.
All welcome. Please circulate to others who may be interested and contact me directly at [log in to unmask] if you would like to attend.
