Writing Violence workshop

Peter Davies

In this workshop, we intend to bring together researchers working on the textual articulation of violence and violent experiences, in terms of authorial or narrative perspective, ethical questions of representation, or how the voices and viewpoints of perpetrators, victims or bystanders may be articulated. In particular, we want to explore comparative perspectives between the medieval and the modern (both broadly defined). The aim is to compare and question our theoretical and methodological assumptions by discussing texts that we do not normally deal with in our work, and to see what we can learn from each others’ perspectives. The session will be run on a workshop basis, with participatory panels on specific themes.
All welcome, whether for the whole time or for part of the session!
