With Professor Nicholas Royle<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday 9th<\/sup> November 2013, 12.30-19.00<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grimond Lecture Theatre 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This symposium brings together several postgraduates from The School of Arts whose research addresses the uncanny from the differing perspectives of Film, History and Philosophy of Art, and Drama. The aim of this event is to bring these diverse approaches into dialogue with each other as we ask: what is the uncanny and how does it relate to our experience of artworks? A series of academic papers will be followed by the presentation of two art projects that explore the uncanny as a theme. The day will culminate with an interview with Professor Nicholas Royle, leading\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 expert and author of the first and most prominent book-length study on the topic: The Uncanny (2003).<\/p>\n

Formal registration is not required for this event but, for catering purposes, please confirm your attendance to mrw31@kent.ac.uk by Wednesday 6th<\/sup> November 2013<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
