Workshop
4-5 November 2019
Instituto de Ciências Sociais,
Universidade de Lisboa
The workshop aims to foster a space for debating photographic
collections from the colonial period, as active agents in the visual
construction of the past. We invite presentations that address the production
of images in the former colonial territories both in institutional contexts
(civil or military authorities, public or private organizations) and in
personal circles (vernacular or professional photographers’ collections).
Decades after the fall of the European empires, we also welcome discussions on
the movements of images over time and through space: the trajectories of
collections between formal and informal archival contexts, the blurring of
boundaries between private and public, the reconfiguration of the meanings and
uses of photography from a historical period under intense scrutiny.
We invite proposals that explore the production and transits, the
(memorialistic, museal, scientific, political) uses and spaces in which the
contemporary revisiting of photographic images is taking place, along with its
multiple connections with intimate, historical and political representations of
the colonial past.
Proposals should be submitted to imaginedpasts@ics.ulisboa.pt by 10
September 2019, including abstracts (max. 150 words), a short biographical
note, and contact and affiliation details.
Decisions on acceptance of proposals will be communicated by 20
September 2019.
Organizers: Maria José Lobo Antunes, Inês Ponte and Filipa Lowndes
