Visualising Conflict Conference – Photojournalism and the Politics of Participation (Copenhagen, Denmark)

November 29, 2018 @ 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

  • « Living Cultures: Maasai Stories – Redress and Resilience (London, UK)
  • Challenging Anti-Muslim Hate and Islamophobic Stereotypes in the Media and Online (London, UK) »

The conference is organised by IMS (International Media Support) and the research group Images of Conflict, Conflicting Images at University of Copenhagen, Department of Media, Cognition and Communication.

Overview: Photojournalists used to hold a privileged position in conflict reporting. Today, they are joined by activists, citizens and others who also produce and disseminate images. Cell phone videos of police officers shooting unarmed, black teenagers in USA are captured by accidental bystanders and shared by the Black Lives Matter movement. The destruction and horror of the war in Syria are documented by activists, who after years of war have developed networks and acquired professional photo equipment – and skills. These practices change the role images play in conflicts, raising pressing issues about the production and veracity of images as well as safety, ethics and the politics of participation:

• Why and how does it matter that conflicts are documented and made visible to the outside world?
• How are images from conflicts created and shared in today’s connective media environment?
• How can the authenticity of images be established?

This conference aims to generate a conversation between scholars, NGO workers, photo editors and activists about the role performed by images in contemporary conflicts.

Attendance is free, but please do register.
