(Image)ining Resistance
Call for papers:
Editors: Keri Cronin and Kirsty Robertson
Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada
We are seeking contributions for a collection of essays tentatively
titled (Image)ining Resistance. Our aim is to encourage interdisciplinary
approaches and critical examinations that address the use of visual imagery in
social and activist movements throughout history. From banners embroidered for
suffragette actions, to the impact of photographs taken in Soweto in 1976, to
political puppets created for recent global justice demonstrations, the
intersections between visual culture and activism relate a rich history with
transnational and transideological import. Interdisciplinary approaches are
encouraged, as are essays addressing a wide range of historical periods,
geographic regions and protest actions.
