The CIEREC laboratories and the Laboratoire Langages, Littératures, Sociétés, Études Transfrontalières et Internationales (LLSETI) are organizing a new international colloquium, entitled "VISAGES À CONTRAINTES", on October 17 and 18, 2017, at theUniversité de Jean Monnet in Saint Étienne, on the topicality of the face confronted with digital technologies.
This symposium marks the first stage of an agreement between the CIEREC (Université Jean Monnet) and LLSETI (Université Savoie Mont-Blanc) laboratories.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
"Where there's a face, there's a problematization of power: ethical, political, aesthetic, technical, media power (which is perhaps all of these at once). It's hardly surprising, then, that the face is today the scene of so many rifts, through which the eternal conflict between iconoclasm and iconodulia is once again posed. The history of the face is the history of the image and its ability to disturb reality and its representation. And the current history of its technical mediatization - whether in terms of reproduction or reception - forces us to reconsider its nature. The aim of this symposium is therefore to examine the active role played by the technological field in the displacement and even reinvention, since the 1960s, of the classic portrait genre."
