  Representations of Power and Power of the Image in British and American Contemporary Photography

  Représentations du pouvoir et pouvoir de l’image dans la photographie contemporaine américaine et britannique

  From the power of images to images of power, this workshop will explore the representations of power and the power of representation in contemporary American and British photography. What is photography capable of doing? Whether in the form of a public person, the environment of power (emblematic places and explicit or underlying forms) or its symbolism, what is photography capable of revealing about power itself? Political, institutional, economic or social power all depend upon a system of relations or tensions between groups or individuals (accepted, rejected, questioned, expressed visually or internalized) participating in the construction of the identity, myths or memories of the American or British nations. In what manner does photography enhance or contribute to this construction or deconstruction of the notion of identity and nation?

  How do we globalize the long eighteenth century?

  Quelle globalisation pour le long XVIIIe siècle ?

  Every student of the 17th or 18th century encounters in his or her own way the global historical dimensions of the more or less ‘domestic’ (provincial, national) subject being addressed. For decades, perhaps, many of us ignored these ramifications, which among other things were hard to treat because we are generally hardpressed to bring to such subjects the kind of specialized knowledge we are used to. (There are of course exceptions, involving colleagues who consciously adopt a global approach, e.g. Atlantic studies, though even these are no doubt truncated in different ways.) In all, the global was not an ‘aporia’ of our studies, so much as something more or less difficult to draw into the discussion and, in that sense, an ‘impensé’.

  A arte nas trincheiras | Nas trincheiras da arte. Nos 100 anos da 1ª Guerra Mundial

  Com o intuito de assinalar a passagem do centenário do início da Primeira Guerra Mundial, o Instituto de Literatura Comparada da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto associa-se às entidades governamentais (Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros) e municipais (Câmara Municipal do Porto) que, no Porto, levarão a cabo um conjunto de actividades comemorativas da efeméride. Pretende-se, neste Colóquio Interdisciplinar, aprofundar a discussão em torno da partici¬pação de Portugal na Primeira Grande Guerra, mediante uma reflexão conjunta e articulada que, para lá de questões de natureza estritamente histórico-política, incida sobre os vários campos artísticos, com especial destaque para o campo da Literatura.

  The American and British Nations in Contemporary Landscape Photography

  This second workshop in a series devoted to photography and national identity will question the way in which landscape as represented through the specificities of the photographic medium may participate in the construction of contemporary American and British national identities.
