Post-colonialism

Is it possible, on the basis of various fields of knowledge and the arts, to identify special codes and narratives characteristic for the expression of postmemory? We invite all those who are seeking to answer these questions, along with all the aspects of postmemory in various historical and geographical contexts.

The aim of the third edition of The Left Conference, Photography and Film Criticism is to debate the use of photographs and film from a leftist stance. In particular, to critical examine and explore the relation of documentary practices with political commitment in different historical circumstances throughout the twentieth century and the early twenty first century. The seminar/conference together will take place at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Universidade de Lisboa on the 9th and 10th November 2018.
