‘EXCLUSION’
University of Gothenburg, Sweden
Deadline: February 10th
The second biennial PARSE conference at the Faculty of Fine, Applied and Performing Arts, University of Gothenburg, Sweden November 15 through 17, 2017 takes as its point of departure the question of “Exclusion.”
How does exclusion operate at a local, national and international level both within the arts, in education and within cultural production more generally? How does one get to imagine oneself as an artist of any discipline—in terms of race, class and access to education? Within the arts, how can we improve access to learning and the formation of experience—and what can we model from other disciplines in this respect? How do images of exclusion—from media images of stranded civilians in Aleppo to molecular images of diseases untreated due to pharmaceutical drug finance and distribution—circulate as both knowledge and neutralisation? What are the politics of access? Do strategies and infrastructures of inclusion simply replicate and reinforce individualised imaginaries within broadly hierarchical social structures, particularly as artistic habits of production are increasingly exported as economised knowledge production to non-Western parts of the world?
