Department of Film Studies at King's College London

Dear all,

We are delighted to invite you to the forthcoming seminar “Approaching Portraits of Women - Phenomenology and Feminism in Film.” The seminar will take place online on the 23rd of September 2021.

The aim of the event is to shed light on the nexus between Film-phenomenology (that is, the philosophical framing of films primarily as carnal experiences) and its ethical implications. Intersectional Feminism, then, offers an insightful perspective to approach such a question, since it prompts us to reconsider how the sensible cinematic experience affects the bodies in their political matrix. Here, the (all female) speakers will dwell on how film-phenomenology can illuminate a discussion both on gender and on race.

SPEAKERS AND TIMETABLE (4pm – 6pm GMT)
4 pm – 4.15 pm: Presentation of the Seminar

4.15 pm – 4.40 pm: Dr Lucy Bolton (Queen Mary University)
Film-Phenomenology, Iris Murdoch, and Mary Magdalene

4.40 pm – 5.05 pm: Dr Anna Caterina Dalmasso (University of Milan)
Take a Breath. Exploring Cinema’s Osmatic Unconscious

5.05 pm – 5. 30 pm: Dr Katie Pleming (University of Edinburgh)
