Launch of the Open Cultural Studies Journal Special Issue on 'Violence(s)'
When:
—
Venue:
Online
This event marks the launch of the special issue on Violence(s) which brings together contributions that interrogate violence as a culturally situated, epistemically contested and relational phenomenon. Through a conversational format in which each author comments on another’s work, the event creates a space to reflect on the methodological, ethical and conceptual dimensions involved in examining forms of violence that are embodied, symbolic, institutional or technologically mediated—forms that stretch beyond the scope of dominant theoretical paradigms. By engaging with these objects of study, the event seeks to foreground plural ways of knowing, experiencing and naming violence(s), and to consider how such perspectives complicate and enrich wider debates on power, harm and social life. The speakers will discuss the following articles from the special issue:
Cristina Basso, Carolina Borda – (co-editors) -
Gabriel Bayarri Toscano –
Ariana Markowitz, Lucy Ella Warren –
Luz Helena Martínez Santamaría, Virginia Romero Plana –
Carlos Piccone-Camere, Véronique Lecaros –
Yasmeen Narayan –
