2017 Conference
Representation
March 9-10, 2017
details Heading link
Representation, broadly conceived, and extending to literature, language, politics, visual culture, and religion. How does representation contribute to, or detract from, understanding? What is the relationship between the representation and what is represented? Is perfectly transparent representation imaginable, or even desirable? How do we think about the question of representation in our highly mediated contemporary society? Is there a space beyond or before representation?
Thank you to the John Nuveen Center for International Affairs for their generous support.
