[Museum] 6th International Conference on Imagetics - Community (ies): Yesterday and today's representations and meanings - 9-10Dec2015 - FLUL

[Maria Leonor Garcia Cruz <ml.garciacruz@gmail.com>]

6^th International Conference on Imagetics

Community (ies): Yesterday and today's representations and meanings

 

Lisbon, Faculdade de Letras, University of Lisbon

December 9 (all day, Aud. 3)

December 10 (Anf. I; from 16:00h D. Pedro V Room)

  

In this presentation and debate venue a science dialogue with scholars from different fields (History, Culture, Archeology, Art History, Philosophy, Literature, Cinema, Linguistics, Economics, Sociology, Law, Health and Anthropology) will crop up, allowing epistemological reflection and new method approaches.

 

As we follow this inter-disciplinary experience in an international meeting environment a team work will naturally spring as a Research Project with researchers and students who are on symbols and icons, text and image sources, monuments and artefacts from the 15^th to the 21^st centuries. A scientific comission will be established along with the team researchers and external specialists.

 

The scientific coordination of the meeting will lie with the Imagetics Studies Programme (since 2005 a research in coordination with the higher levels of education) and the History Centre of Lisbon University. Once more they both bring together researchers, networks and institutions. The meeting also serves pedagogical and cultural purposes.

 

As we chose Community / Communities as the main theme we follow previous meetings and we value a reflection where deep questions show different themes: historical, individual and collective consciousness of social relations, of the relation with nature, and with the transcendental; of the individual in his/her ethnical and social pluridimensions and identitarian (in)definitions.

 

 

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

 

The individual in a community

- The social integration of a person according to normative principles of the family, the tribe, the group, the republic; in economic, religious, political and mixed  associations; as a person lead by someone versus spontaneous activity; resistence.

 

From the singular to the utopias of the universal

- from the individual, the group, to networks and interconnections; ways of socialisation; to think an empire; information circuits, communication knowledge and techniques (both material and digital).

 

Communion in a multicultural environment

- Values and traditions in search of a communion with the cosmos and spiritual manifestations; calling and mission versus a sense of human; tension and uprisings towards religious intolerance.

 

Diasporas and metamorphosis

- migrations; the community's process evolution, conservation and mutation; frontiers; syncretisms.

 

Underlining an interdisciplinary scientific deepening we call upon scholars from different institutions, schools and research centres so they can take part (individually or in group) when seen fit, to propose networking and covenant collaboration.
