7th International Interdisciplinary Conference
RIOT, REVOLT, REVOLUTION
Wednesday 5th – Friday 7th September 2012
It is very rare for societies or institutions to change unless they are confronted by specific forms of resistance. This conference investigates those moments of historical change when existing orders are put into question. In particular, it seeks 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.
Keynote speaker: Patrice Maniglier
Film screening: Richard Rowland; ‘Occupy - the diary of a protest’
Exhibition: Myrto Tsilimpounidi/ Ministry of Untold Stories; 'Athens: Resistance as Urban Dialogue'.
