CRIVCOF Workshops
Visualising the Franco-Algerian Relationship since 1954
Workshop, The University of Manchester, 7 January 2010
This workshop is being held as part of an AHRC-funded project,
'France-Algeria: Visualising a (Post-) Colonial Relationship'
Its aim is to facilitate the exchange of ideas between contributors to a special issue of Modern and Contemporary France to be published in May 2011.
Bringing together specialists in French and Algerian visual culture from the UK, US, France and Algeria, the workshop and special issue will address the different ways in which the Franco-Algerian relationship has been represented in visual culture from the outbreak of the Algerian War to the present day. It will explore a range of work, including contemporary Algerian cinema and visual culture, and the negotiation of memories of colonisation and the War in French, pied-noir and Franco-Algerian film and photography.
Attendance at the workshop is free of charge. To register, please contact the organisers, Joe McGonagle, or Ed Welch, by 30 November 2009.
