Workshop rationale
Organised by the Social Psychology Research Group at The Open University, with the support of the Qualitative Methods in Psychology section of the BPS, and the Psychosocial Studies Cluster at the Centre for Citizenship, Identities and Governance, The Open University.
This workshop addresses the relationship between war and visuality to scrutinise both how questions of seeing having figured as integral to the ways in which wars are fought, and how war is encountered as a spectacle and responded to.
This is an invitation only event. For participants, the programme is set out below.
The workshop will revolve around sessions of roundtable discussion in which each participant will have a chance to speak briefly about their individual projects and how they bear on key common conceptual issues. The roundtable will explore some of the following themes:
This international, interdisciplinary workshop asks in what ways do recent attempts at rethinking citizenship, mobility and community reframe what it means to act politically? Post-national citizenship, mobile citizenship, citizenship in international relations, transnational enactment of citizenship, citizenship in cities all challenge the assumption that state-like communities are the privileged sites of political practice.
