*Bodies on Screen: A Postgraduate Conference, Goldsmiths, University of

 *May 17 2013 - **New Academic Building 305*

Bodies on Screen explores the resonances between the body and screen-based
media. The conference aims to investigate the politics of representing the
body and its limits in a broad geographical spectrum, through creating a
forum of academic discourse for postgraduate students whose researches are
positioned in the intersection of the study of visual culture, film and
embodiment.
