Counter-image
International Conference
6th and 7th May 2019
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.
