The Politics of Mediation. The Case of Friedl Dicker’s photo collages

Text

Word and image relations and the institutions where these play out determine much of how societies (individuals and groups) define themselves. With this conference, we propose to explore how intermedial practices (inter- and/or transdisciplinary) impact on social dynamics, e.g. determine the ways in which art and activism operate and intersect and how art, literature, comics, film, digital media, theatre, etc. institute themselves in the public sphere or are entangled in power dynamics. These relations can take many forms and engage us in thinking about the significance of society’s connection with various semiotic signs and in studying a variety of material that tends to fall outside of traditional boundaries. Therefore, we welcome historical and contemporary case studies and methodological explorations from artistic research, art history and theory, creative writing, literary studies, cultural studies, cultural analysis, film, theatre, comics or digital media studies, political science, museum studies, art sociology etc.
