Diverse Migrations: Photography out of Bounds

The Photographic History Research Centre 2017 international conference will provide an opportunity for scholars in a variety of disciplines to interrogate what social and other meaningful photographic practices emerge when photographs cross boundaries, and move between individuals, places, and distinct cultural environments.

Social interactions through and with analogue and digital photographs and the platforms across which photography is shared and disseminated keep challenging traditional socio-cultural boundaries. Diverse Migrations: Photography out of Bounds will explore how these processes affect peoples whose photographic histories are currently understudied.

Papers will consider this question in the context of African, Central American and Middle Eastern cultures, among many others, and in relation to themes such as: transnational and/or emerging photographic practices; cross-cultural knowledge exchange through photography; migrations across media; sharing and exchanging photographs; global forums for photography and its theorisation.
