Reminder: Call for papers deadline
Voice and Silence: (Beyond) the Rhetoric of Pain
HRC Symposium at The University of Warwick, 15 November 2014
Deadline for submissions : 31 August 2014
Papers from all disciplines are very welcome.
This one-day symposium intends to explore the ways in which we conceptualize pain. How are narratives and images of pain constructed, and what are the aesthetic, cultural and political implications that follow? How can we relate to these experiences? When and where are such mediations absent or lacking? How do approaches found in visual culture interact with legal, political and philosophical ideas, with history and memory writing? Can theory contribute to activism?
Please email an abstract of up to 300 words and a brief bio to Nike Jung,
