Centre for Applied Philosophy, Politics and Ethics (CAPPE)
7th Annual, International, Interdisciplinary Conference  

Riot, Revolt, Revolution 

Wednesday 5th - Friday 7th September 2012 

Film screening: Richard Rowland; 'Occupy - the diary of a protest'

Exhibition: Myrto Tsilimpounidi/Ministry of Untold Stories; 'Anthens: Resistance as Urban Dialogue' with a performance by the artists entitled: 'It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of worlds'   

It is very rare for societies or institutions to change unless they are confronted by specific forms of resistance. This conference investigated those moments of historical change when existing orders are put into question. In particular, it sought to challenge us to rethink ways in which we might understand resistance and asks us to read the past in order to inform the present through a focus on riot, revolt and revolution, and on the interplay between them.
