> An international, cross-disciplinary conference, Images of Social Life

> Contributions dealing visually with all aspects of social life -
> intimate
> scenes of personal life, subjectivity formation, domestic organisation,
> urban life, work, community, biography, place, migration and global
> processes - particularly those linking different degrees of
> magnification,
> scope and scale are strongly encouraged. Themes that cross-cut the
> usual
> tensions between the micro and the macro, individual lives and bigger
> social
> processes, the global and the local, the general and the particular,
> the
> theoretical and the empirical, and connect small landscapes with bigger
> processes are particularly welcome. Creating a matrix across
> disciplines,
> research fields, methodologies, and forms of social analysis, we will
> see
> what different visual strategies can achieve by moving in different
> directions and operating at different levels.
>
> On past experience we expect this conference to attract scholars from

> and all over Europe from a broad range of disciplinary bases including
> Cultural and Media Studies, Geography, History, English, Architecture
> and
> Urban Planning, Politics, Psychology, Art and Design, Anthropology,
> Education, Sociology and Social Policy. It is intended for those who

> in
> film, video, still photography and multi-media - in understanding
> social
> life. It is also for those who would like to develop their visual
