[ecrea] CFP-Screening the Virtues workshop

DEADLINE REMINDER: CFP ‘Screening the Virtues’ – 1-day workshop at the 
University of Hertfordshire exploring the philosophical and religious 
dimensions of virtues as they are portrayed in cinema and TV

When and Where: Saturday, 25th February 2017, University of 
Hertfordshire, Hatfield
Keynote Speaker: Professor Stephen Mulhall (University of Oxford)

Films can have a significant impact on our lives, particularly in the 
way they can shape our values and beliefs. They can move us emotionally, 
intellectually and spiritually, turning a theoretical discussion of the 
virtues into a lived experience. The aims of this workshop are:
 > to explore the ways in which virtues are represented on screen
 > to examine some specific virtues and the ways in which their 
cinematic representation can offer us new insights
 > to stimulate discussions about what cinema can – and cannot – teach 
us about the virtues.
The workshop also aims to encourage a discussion of virtues across 
disciplines and we welcome proposals from a range of disciplines, in 
particular philosophy, theology and religious studies, and film studies.
 Proposals for papers of 20 minutes length should be sent to Dr Sylvie 
Magerstädt ((s.magerstadt /at/ herts.ac.uk)) by *09 January 2017* (extended 
deadline!)
