Committed images

Plural and alternative citizenships, between (re)creation and representations

Series of 3 meetings - Autumn 2025

---

The aim of the "Images engagées" meetings is to examine the dual role of images as a means of visualising citizens' expressions and as a means of political (self)representation (asserting, bearing witness, making claims). As visual representations and counter-representations of conflict, and as part of militant struggles, images literally allow us to see and think about the political visions and divisions of the social world. As such, they are an inexhaustible source of material for social science research.

Cycle organised as part of the
IPPI-Med - Images of the political and the politics of the image in the Mediterranean
Scientific directors :
Philippe Aldrin (MESOPOLHIS), Pascal Cesaro (Prism),
Pierre Fournier (MESOPOLHIS) & Vincent Geisser (IREMAM)
