Overview |
| |
| |
|
Following last
year’s successful symposium on media and ethics, New York
University’s Department of Media, Culture, and
Communication and The American University of Paris’
Department of Global Communications are pleased to
announce a second day-long conference on problems of
common interest.
This year’s focus
will be on believing – believing in national memory,
believing in the sacred, believing our own eyes. How is
cultural memory produced and reproduced? How is visual
culture constructed around structures of belief and
skepticism? How are religious practices and traditions
sustained through media?
