Approaching Blackness: 13th Annual Students and Graduates Conference, 13.-15.11.2014
The main question that will be asked in this conference is how to find new ways of approaching blackness beyond the limits of representation.
In the consideration of this question, we call for a renewed investment in transdisciplinary practices. We invite a variety of topics and approaches, ranging from the aesthetic—which could include questions on the significance of the color ‘black’ in the visual arts, blackness as the absence of color, or the iconic and symbolic roles of blackness in art—, the transnational—which includes questions on the black Atlantic, or the more recent concerns of Afro-Pessimism and critical cosmopolitanism—, and the metacritical—which may include a critique of these new theoretical paradigms.
