In the wake of the Ukraine war, the circulation of imagery directly depicting or representing violence has surged significantly in our media environments. At the same time we have witnessed intense debates about the necessity of trigger warnings and questions regarding the political necessities of depictions of violent acts. Thus, in the coming two terms we will engage with the representation, reproduction as well as the reconstruction of the violent in films, artworks and critical moving image works. We will watch examples of works that offer novel or different perspectives to tackle the representation of violence, discuss forms of violence in political movements as well as in the context of queer, feminist, anti-racist, progressive and emancipatory struggles. We will think about and discuss, structural and economical forms of violence as well as those directed towards individual bodies and focus on the differentiation between myth, narrative, documentary formats as well as artistic expressions. Finally, we aim to engage with works proposing different forms of healing in the face of trauma. As in previous years we have prepared  a selection of texts and moving image works about the topic that we will work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
