ISA-TG05: Session C - Culture and visual forms of power. Experiencing contemporary spaces of resistance
August 1-4, 2012. Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Second ISA Forum of Sociology - “Social justice and democratization”
This session aims to bring together researchers working on power relations and visual methods. We wish to examine how, in a time of extensive social change, culture is always a space for resistance. While it is inevitable that discourse is a field in which different positions struggle, we are also interested in examining cases where visual sociology is used as action research. At the same time we endeavor to democratize the ways our knowledge and practices are produced and shared. (See the call for papers on the ISA website). For further details please see the webpage:
