Event Series:
Visualizing Abolition
April 14 @ 9:00 am – April 15 @ 5:00 pm
This symposium brings together specialists in a variety of cultures (from ancient North Africa to colonial Latin America) and disciplines to explore problems of abolition in relation to premodern literary, material, and visual culture. The aim is not simply to trace institutions of punishment, resistance, surveillance, and incarceration; but, rather, to see how abolitionist commitments to the unmaking of structures and remaking of emancipatory communities might shape the very forms and ends of deep historical analysis itself.
Attendance is by registration; contact Luke Fidler (lfidler@ucsc.edu) to register.
This event is sponsored by the Institute of Arts and Sciences Visualizing Abolition initiative and organized by Dr. Luke Fidler.
