‘Picture Europe’ provides a framework for imagining Europe and the ‘West’ based on othered perspectives in which agency is given to tourists to reconstruct and narrativize spaces in the European city. Their stories, our stories – coerce a rethink of culture as reflexive, embodied and contingent especially in our era of multifarious transnational mobilities. The conference will collect othered stories to render Europe with novel gazes and map spaces of engagement which encourage the creation of platforms for continuous dialogue on what Europe could mean for different voices.
Unlike other conferences in which delegates present their research on a topic, this conference serves as a reflexive thinktank to research, collect, discuss insightful experiences. Participants will situate themselves as part of a European lifeworld and cultural landscape to embody place – Denkbilder – sculpting the form, content and image of one’s reflections. They are invited to explore place meanings in the city – how they are imagined, represented and consumed by interrogating events, buildings, sculptures, food, paintings, novels, films and music – all in search of the lived experience of places and the dynamic everyday life. In so doing, the conference will elucidate the diegetic quality of personal experiences and encounters in understanding different meanings of Europe through variegated spaces of consumption, not only in physical locations, but the underlying processes in which the imagination takes place. The conference will feature:
UEFA Euro 2024 screenings Both semi-finals will be re-created as events to ‘picture europe’. 09.07 is a ‘private viewing’ and 10.07 is a ‘public viewing’.
Walking with the city with a picnic at the palace gardens in an art and media museum in the night over poetry
