[Commlist] Ethics and Empathy Seminar

*SEMINAR:/ETHICS AND EMPATHY/*

*23/24 OCTOBER 2019*

Lincoln School of Film and Media, University of Lincoln, Lincoln

The Lincoln School of Film and Media is mounting an 
interdisciplinary seminar to discuss the ethical implications of the 
current claims around the suggested impacts on 
the audience's empathetic reception of new media platforms. It is our 
intention to approach the current debate from a wide variety of angles. 
We’ll contextualise the example of immersive media by asking what do we 
already know of the empathic reaction to legacy visual media 
communications – film, broadcasting, photography – on, for 
example, migration, targeted social action, political satire and so on? 
We will be discussing the specific affordances that give rise to current 
claims around empathy and the ethical challenges those affordances 
occasion -- and more generally, how the established agenda of concerns 
about media ethics might respond, if at all, to the emergence of 
immersive media.

We would very much welcome contributions to our deliberations. If you 
are interested in joining us, please be in touch with either:

Prof Brian Winston (bwinston /at/ lincoln.ac.uk) <mailto:(bwinston /at/ lincoln.ac.uk)>

Dr Carolina Bandenelli (cbandenelli /at/ lincoln.ac.uk)
