[ecrea] C-IIC 2019 : Counter-image International Conference

Counter-image
International Conference
Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, Universidade Nova de Lisboa
6th and 7th May 2019

Call for Papers

The research on History, made by authors such as Benjamin and Foucault, 
sustain a counter-discourse and counter-narrative way of thinking that 
aims to embrace the voices of those who have been voted to silence by 
the hegemonic powers of society, asserting themselves as counter-memory. 
The practices of memory are thus fields of political action where 
various agents interact in relationships of power that seek to give 
visibility to memory, against forgetfulness, marginalization and 
subjugation. The productions of memory and forgetfulness are not passive 
acts, but denote conflicts and tensions between different modes of 
knowledge. We seek to highlight the different perspectives and 
multiplicities of discourses that converge in the formation of memory 
guided by heterogeneity and plurality.

 From this theoretical and interpretive framework appeared new models 
of organization and re-activation of memory; discussions on the 
interactions between individual / collective identities; postcolonial 
perspectives; gender policies; marginal / peripheral discourses gained 
dimension.

We invite academics, students and independent researchers to think the 
photographic and filmic image as “a place where recollection - memory – 
materializes” (Bergson, 1896) and real and fiction intersect (Dubois, 
2016) affirming their power to transgress and open other narrative and 
visual paths. The scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to:
- counter-hegemonic narratives;
- temporal densities of/in images;
- archive dynamics in relation to counter-power and counter-memory;
- self-representation between fiction and reality;
- political and sociohistorical dimensions of authorship;
- artistic practices as resistance strategies;
- the use of vernacular images and processes in artistic production.
