Bodies in Transformation: An Interdisciplinary Symposium on Fictional Representations of the Body on Screen, June 2016, University of Hertfordshire
This symposium aims to explore the ways in which creative media products contribute to ongoing debates on our changed relationship with our bodies and what it means to be human in our so called (post)postmodern world.
The event is jointly organised by Darren Elliott-Smith and Sylvie Magerstädt (Humanities Media) & Agustin Rico-Albero (Languages) and the initial planning was funded by the UH Research Skills Development Fund for Early Career Researchers.
