Seminar VIII: Common Ground (Spring 2017)
Seminar VIII centres around the theme of ‘common ground’. The aim is to foster dialogue concerning themes, theories, methods and framings across all research areas. Subsequently sessions are devised based on where we find common ground, where we feel common ground is missing and to consider what readings, debates and approaches we can usefully pursue together. Concurrent with the Common Ground seminars, an AHRC funded seminar series on ‘Rhythmanalysis’, open to WSA staff and students and co-convened by Sunil Manghani, takes place at Goldsmiths College. Additional events include, WSA Staff Seminars, a symposium of the Archaeologies of Media and Technology Research group, and various events related to the MA in Contemporary Curation.

Prof. Anna Dahlgren from the Department of Culture and Aesthetics at Stockholm University will present on her recent book project. She will discuss fashion photography, which has since the 1990s to a larger degree migrated effortlessly between the art field and the commercial field, between being personal works and assignments harshly circumscribed by designers, brands and fashion publications.In this talk, Prof. Dahlgren will trace the beginnings of these transgressions through a close examination of the two magazines I-d and Artforum.
