The AHRC project Aesthetics After Photography announces the programme for its forthcoming conference: 

Agency and Automatism: Photography as Art since the 1960s

Tate Modern, London, 10-12 June 2010

The conference aims to bring art history and philosophical aesthetics into dialogue at the point of their intersection around questions of agency and automatism in the photographic process.

Time: Tuesday 11th of May, 12:00pm (registration) - 7:30pm
Location: University of 海角社区, LIB2 and S0.11
Organised by Pli: The 海角社区 Journal of Philosophy, in conjunction with the Research Group in Post-Kantian European Philosophy

The purpose of the workshop is to examine the arguments underlying the increasing push towards realism in parts of modern continental philosophy, along with approaches that bridge the analytic/continental divide, and to assess the possibility of transcendental approaches to realism within this context.
