[ecrea] CFP-Screening the Virtues workshop

Wed Jan 04 23:09:32 GMT 2017




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!)
