Event overview
This forum seeks to unsettle the notion of conflict often associated to war zones removed from daily life in urban spaces - particularly in developed countries - and explore different processes of normalization (material and symbolic) in the everyday.
The encounter will be chaired by CAROLINE KNOWLES, Director of the Centre for Urban and Community Research (CUCR) Goldsmiths University. The participants will be:
KIRSTEN CAMPBELL, Head of the Unit for Global Justice, Goldsmiths University. Her current research develops a new theoretical framework to understand contemporary war crimes.
DAVID THEO GOLDBERG, Director of the University of California Humanities Research Institute, the University of California system-wide research facility for the human sciences and theoretical research in the arts. He also holds faculty appointments as Professor of Comparative Literature and Criminology, Law and Society at UC Irvine, and is a Fellow of the UCI Critical Theory Institute.
PAUL HALLIDAY, photographer, filmmaker and sociologist based at Goldsmiths College, University of London. A former Media Advisor for the British Refugee Council. He is currently the course leader of the MA in Photography and Urban Cultures and co-founder of the Urban Encounters conference at Tate Modern.
