University of Durham
Registration deadline: 7 March, 2014
The Philosophy Department at the University of Durham is pleased to announce a two-day, interdisciplinary workshop, including master-classes, artist talks, paper presentations and moderated discussion, on the theme of ‘Perceiving the Light: Shadow, Image, Transparency‘.
The goal of the workshop is to generate discussion on a range of visual ephemera that remain under-theorised in contemporary philosophy of perception – for instance, shadows, rainbows and reflections; the re-presentation of such items in art and photography; and on the nature of appearances and images more generally.
A set of master-classes will be led by Thomas Crowther (Philosophy, Warwick), Bob Kentridge (Psychology, Durham) and the artist Julie Westerman (Durham).
Confirmed speakers:
M.G.F. Martin (UCL/Berkeley)
Mohan Matthen (Toronto)
Vivian Mizrahi (Geneva)
Mikael Pettersson (Stockholm/NYU)
Tom Stoneham (York)
