9.00 am - 5.00 pm
The I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE VISUAL MOTIFS OF POWER AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE will take place online in September 20th and 21st, 2021. The Conference aims at bringing together experts in cinema, visual arts and researchers on social and political communication, in order to establish the core principles that define the system of self-production of images of power and the public sphere. The initiative is part of the research project VISUAL MOTIFS IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE: PRODUCTION AND CIRCULATION OF IMAGES OF POWER IN SPAIN (2011-2017) (REF: CSO2017-88876-P). In this context, the Conference calls for empirical research and theoretical approaches on the ways in which power and the public sphere are staged, how their images are reinterpreted by citizens, and which mechanisms exist for appropriating and reinventing iconographic sources.
