 Programme Keynote speakers Practical information Contact Abstracts Photography and Word Abstracts Photography and Education International conference at Nordiska museet in Stockholm 4-5 February 2010 This conference presents two themes, ”Photography and Word” and “Photography and Education,” each focusing on key issues under current development in the international research field. The first day of this two-day conference will include talks by a handful of internationally renowned speakers from the university and museum sector. The event is open to all scholars of photography in universities, museums and archives. The second day will include parallel seminars with paper presentations within the two themes. Photography and Word is open to consider a variety of verbal supplements to photography. From the observation that photographs are highly sensitive to spoken and written language, we invite investigations and experimentation in hermeneutical processing, design manual development, juridical controversies, theoretical analysis as well as artistic, curatorial and journalistic practices. Thus we may highlight problems relating to copyright and/or protection of individual privacy; dissemination and organization of digitized photographic collections; visual rhetoric in political and/or commercial arenas; syntagmatic and paradigmatic modes of producing illustrated meaning; manufacturing evidence of criminal/immoral conduct or the use of language in photographic exhibitions. Photography and Education considers photography as a tool and a subject for education. A) The role of photography in teaching; in history books, educational materials, museums exhibitions. B) Photography taught; from amateur photo classes to public education and professional courses. What have been the intentions behind teaching photography and what have been the dominant values? C) Practical photography as means of education and research, from art school’s examination of self, gender, and discourse to research practices that rely on photographic records and documentation. D) Transversal production of generic standards and habits among closed circuits of producers, distributors and consumers. The conference Photography Next is made possible through the generous support of the Swedish Research Council and Riksbankens Jubileumsfond. |
