News: PURE profile – help and what to do
Now is a great time to make sure your Pure profile is up-to-date and does justice to all the work you’ve put into your Research and Knowledge Exchange. Pure provides the detailed public face of the university’s research. It feeds search engines very well and is the main way peers, senior staff and students, as well as the press and public get to find out more about you and your work. There is a Sharepoint site to help you through the mechanics of adding material to the system. Access to the editor is through the link https://cris.brighton.ac.uk/. Any problems or questions with this end of things, please contact Pure Support <Pure-Support@brighton.ac.uk> A few reminders of the basics. You should have an image – either a portrait or an image of your work. You should create profile text under suitable headings, prioritising ‘Research interests’. These should be in paragraphs rather than […]

Call for Papers: by 12 April 2024 for Symposium Vestiges of Memory – Intersections between photography and autobiographical memory – University for the Creative Arts, Canterbury, UK | 18 July 2024
“I cannot penetrate, cannot reach into the Photograph. I can only sweep it with my glance, like a smooth surface” (Barthes, 2000: 106) We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the International research symposium that focuses on the intricate relationships between photography and autobiographical memory, which is scheduled to take place on 18 July 2024 at The University for the Creative Arts in Canterbury, UK. This interdisciplinary event aims to explore ways in which 21st century artists, photographic practitioners and other researchers attempt to reach and rummage beyond the smooth surface of the photograph, and contemplate its relationship and contributions to the construction of autobiographical memory. We invite scholars, artists, academics, practitioner-researchers, researcherpractitioners, and other professionals doing research into relationships between memory and images created through the “frightfully speculative eye” (Deleuze, 1990: 243) of the photographic camera to propose papers and panels that explore, but are not […]
