SUMMARY:Dangerous Writings -A Symposium on the Ethics\, and Practicalitie
 s of Working with Risky Texts
UID:{http://www.columbasystems.com/customers/uom/gpp/eventid/}ocp-mcvu3px
 2-vngf2y
DESCRIPTION:"Dangerous writings" have long served as both catalysts for t
 ransformation and sources of profound personal and collective risk. From
  incendiary manifestos to suppressed memoirs and carceral correspondence
 \, these texts expose\, unsettle\, and resist. While we recognise their 
 power to challenge authority and interrogate societal norms\, we know fa
 r less about how their creation\, preservation\, and reading are fraught
  with ethical\, emotional\, and even legal implications.\n\nThis unique 
 symposium explores the multifaceted dangers of writing\, curating\, and 
 reading—and the responsibilities they entail. Bringing together archivis
 ts and scholars from across disciplines\, we aim to understand how dange
 rous writings emerge\, how they shape those who encounter them\, and how
  we might ethically engage with them. Programme and speakers available o
 n Eventbrite\n\nThere will be lunch and coffee breaks throughout the eve
 nt\, followed by a wine reception.\n\nFree event but limited places avai
 lable so booking is essential:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dangerous
