Conference, symposium - Europe

Eurovision 1914: Taking stock

Le début de la première guerre mondiale et ses répercussions sur l'Europe ont souvent été traités lors d'expositions, de congrès, de publications ou de films. Les groupes scolaires sont également très investis dans ce travail de la mémoire. C'est pourquoi, conjointement à une appropriation créative de l'histoire et de l'actualité dans des projets scolaires, l'année du souvenir 2014 sera abordée sous un angle analytique et critique.

Seminar - Representation

Dynamis of the image: the archaeology of possibles

The project Dynamis of the image aims at exploring the power of images in the contemporary globalized world by focusing not on the image’s referential functions, but on its performative forces. By asking by what means images generate affects, produce events or sometimes even provoke wars, the project critically reflects on the traditionally dominant Western paradigm of image thinking which has customarily reduced images to mere signifiers or inanimate objects. On the other hand, the project points toward a more encompassing perspective on images by including non-Western, premodern oder anthropological frameworks where the image has been reflected upon not in terms of its ontology, but in terms of its efficacy.
