[ecrea] Ethics, Art and Moving Images

The University for the Creative Arts, the Centre for Critical Thought at 
Kent Law School (University of Kent) and the Whitstable Biennalewarmly 
invite you to the symposium

*Ethics, Art and Moving Images*

University for the Creative Arts, New Dover Road, Canterbury, Kent CT1 3AN

Friday 3 June 2016, 9.30 – 19.30

This transdisciplinary symposium explores how ethics can figure 
eminently in the generation of art and images after modernism and 
postmodernism, starting from the premise that in the Anthropocene, the 
work cannot rest upon its separation from the world. The symposium asks 
what ethics are at play in the relations between the human artist, the 
art, and the human and non-human models or participants. Art theorists 
and practitioners as well as legal studies scholars will probe the role 
of art and moving images in the creation of ethical relations which have 
historically been considered as the preserve of law and juridical 
discourse, or moral philosophy. Through new materialist, eco-political 
and posthuman thought and practice, the symposium will bypass the 
division between the active practice of ethics and the contemplative 
theory of aesthetics that Hannah Arendt challenges in Kant’s philosophy, 
to further an ethics of immanence beyond the fault line between the 
ethics of the individual and impersonal singularities. Using Spinoza, 
Deleuze, Guattari, Levinas, Nietzsche, Agamben, Grosz, Massumi, Haraway, 
Plumwood, Blanchot, and Nancy, the different papers move from human to 
human/non-human relations in the course of the day to advance an 
ecological and posthuman ethics with respect to art.
