This conference seeks to develop dialogue aorund notions of the image. Join us as we host a congress of scholars interested in the drawn, illustrated image, who will work together and singularly to intervene upon our understanding of a range of concepts related to the image, including depiction, visuality, illustration, and the pictorial, to name only a few.  Our hope is that as participants enjoy sharing vivid presentations on such topics as animated post-humanity, caricatured politicians, or clever talking animals, that attendees will feel the uniqueness of the occasion as well, coming away from this event with a new respect for the complexities not just of the human-made image but of the human. Full schedule available here.
