This year we are running all of our research seminars online using Zoom. If you would like to attend, and are not included on our events mailing list, please email Dr Stephen Ingram to request the Zoom meeting details.

Seminars will take place on Wednesdays, and will run from 15.15-16.50, with a 5 minute break between the talk and the Q&A. The Zoom meeting will be available to join from 15.00.

Title: Economics of Imagination: Showing and Telling with Pictures and Words

Abstract: Pictures make meaning differently than words, and thereby engage imagination in different ways as well. I explore how three key differences between imagistic and linguistic systems – in content, perspective, and force – conspire to shape the economics of imagination: in who pays, in what coin, and for what result. There is no global currency of ‘worth’, but there are systematic trade-offs to be navigated, by both maker and audience.
