Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

The conference entitled “Images of Illegalized Immigration” is organized by the NCCR Iconic Criticism which will take place between 31st of August and 1st of September 2009 in the University of Basel . The conference invites scholars to discuss images of illegalized immigration. How do images shape the way we perceive illegalized immigration? Who creates these images? Under which conditions? And where do they circulate? How do they relate to legal and political discourses? The goal of this conference is to deal more critically with visual ‘evidence’ of illegalized immigration.
