Section on Art History, Literature, Film and Performance Studies

As part of
The 8th Global Forum of Critical Studies
"Asking Big Questions Again"

The 8th Euroacademia Global Forum of Critical Studies aims to bring into an open floor the reflexive and questioning interaction among academics, intellectuals, practitioners and activists profoundly concerned with evaluative understandings of the world we’re living in. The focus of the forum is to initiate an arena where no question is misplaced and irrelevant as long as we acknowledge that evaluation, critical thinking and contestation are accessible trajectories to better understand our past, present and alternative scenarios for the future.

When it’s about critical thinking and critical studies there is intrinsically an unending open list of topics to be included.
The 8th Euroacademia Forum on Critical Studies proposes the 5 sections (that are by no means exclusive):
Theory/Philosophy/Politics/Cultural Studies/Political Economy/Arts, Literature, Film and Performance Studies
