The international conference 'Recentring Form(s) in and of the Margins: the Politics of Self-Reflexivity' takes place from 24 to 26 April 2024 and is co-organized by CLIC-members Jade Thomas, Katrijn Van den Bossche, Prof. Janine Hauthal, Prof. Elisabeth Bekers and Prof. Pieter Vermeulen (KUL).
This interdisciplinary conference is interested in self-reflexive and metareferential form(s) in contemporary visual and textual art, which are becoming increasingly widespread. With its focus on meta-form(s) that create, occur and/in or stem from (proverbial) 'margins', this conference aims to spark discussion about innovative scholarly approaches to politically engaged self-reflexive artworks across media.
Aside from the 7 panels, the programme also features cultural events and a poster session.
