DESCRIPTION:This HCRI Landmark Lecture will be given by Lilie Chouliaraki
 : Professor of Media and Communication at the London School of Economics
  and Political Science. She has written extensively on media ethics (par
 ticularly the problem of mediated suffering)\, digital journalism and hu
 man rights/humanitarian communication. She is the author or editor of se
 ven books\, including 'Discourse in Late Modernity. Rethinking Critical 
 Discourse Analysis' (EUP\, 1999)\; 'The Spectatorship of Suffering' (Sag
 e\, 2006/2011) and 'The Ironic Spectator. Solidarity in the Age of Post-
 humanitarianism' (Polity: 2013\; Outstanding Book Award 2015\; Internati
 onal Communication Association).\n\nThis lecture focuses on the dominant
  visual culture around the recent 'refugees crisis' in Europe. Drawing o
 n a typology of relevant images across media\, it maps out the field of 
 visibility within which refugees become perceptible to European publics 
 and examines the distinct forms of responsibility\, which the refugees a
 re associated with (monitorial\, affective\, activist\, post-humanitaria
 n). In conclusion\, it raises questions about the capacity of these form
 s of responsibility to engage with refugees as human others and to promo
 te a culture of care and solidarity\, outlining alternative media practi
 ces that could possibly foster different visual cultures.\n\nTickets are
