Lecture series

Darren Newbury: Visual Mobility & Cordiality in the Cold War

Within the public lecture series Aesthetics from the Margins

Darren Newbury is Professor of Photographic History at the University of Brighton.

The lecture seriesAesthetics from the Margins (course no. 52040-01, 3 CP) proposes historical and theoretical inquiries into questions of sensual perception and world-making. By considering different aesthetic forms, media and practices – among them photography, literature, language, and the performing arts – we will explore colonial and postcolonial ways of being in and making sense of ‘world(s)’, especially if these are articulated from a perspective of marginality.
