Dear All, The following item may be of interest:
*Cinema and/as Ethics Workshop,* University of New South Wales Room 327, Robert Webster Building Dec 9 to Dec 11 The third Cinematic Thinking Network <http://cinematicthinkingnetwork.org/> workshop is dedicated to examining the intersection between film and ethics and the possibility of evoking ethical experience and thinking through cinema. Much work has been done in recent years on the relationship between film and philosophy, and many theorists have addressed ethical topics and issues through the critical analysis of film. But can cinema be regarded as a medium of ethical thinking in its own right? How can contemporary philosophical research on film address ethical questions and political problems? Given the cultural and aesthetic power of cinema to evoke affect, emotion, and reflection, how can film-philosophy retrieve and reinvent concepts of belief, ethical experience, critique, and ideology in a globalised world?
