CiC event 27 April 2012
The Cradled in Caricature organising committee are delighted to announce that our second event will take place on 27 April 2012 at the University of Kent, Canterbury…
CRADLED IN CARICATURE : a multidisciplinary event
Friday 27 April 2012, COLT3, University of Kent, Canterbury
This one-day event will approach the notion of ‘caricature’ as an artistic and social practice, using it to prompt debate and discussion on exaggeration, stereotyping, representation, and characterisation. The multi-disciplinary event therefore intends to explore the following problems:
- Why are societies framed by traditions of exaggeration and stereotyping?
- To what extent does caricature disseminate didactic/polemical message?
- What is the importance of media to the efficacy of caricature? How have print culture and the popular press played a role?
- Under what cultural circumstances has caricature flourished in the past?
- Where has caricature been located in the narrative of Western ‘art history’?
- Are all societies and cultures (real, imagined; past, present) cradled in and constructed by caricature?
Skepsi is pleased to host the Cradled in Caricature multidisciplinary event call for contributions. The conference will take place at the University of Kent on the 27th of April 2012: MORE INFORMATION AND FULL CALL.
Skepsi is inviting contributions for its forthcoming fifth annual conference, dedicated to the apocalypse in theory and culture. Full details at THIS ADDRESS.

Thanks to our beloved former member Wissia, we are now on Wikipedia! If you have anything to add, please feel free!
UPDATE: Thanks to an overly-zealously hyperactive wikipedia user (who has the TIME to contribute 62,000 times to Wikipedia, seriously?) the Skepsi page is now nominated for deletion (less than 60 minutes after posting it). I will not pursue this matter, but I find it really amusing how much free time people have.
