ECREA pre-conference workshop hosted by the Visual Cultures section
War streaming on Instagram, propaganda in press photography, refugee activism on TikTok? – Recent European crises have shown images and videos as essential tools of communication in politics and protest, a trend mirrored in the increasing use of visuals in research methodologies. In response to these trends, the ECREA Visual Cultures section’s online pre-conference workshop will focus on epistemological and methodological challenges in researching “Visual Politics & Protest” in four thematic panels. The pre-conference workshop will include a keynote by Dr. Jing Zeng (University of Zurich), a series of lightning talks, a panel discussion (including speakers Dr. Stefania Vicari, Dr. Shana MacDonald, & Dr. Jing Zeng), and hands-on discussion rounds with a specific focus on epistemological challenges in research on visual politics and protest.
