Employing recent theories of transgressive body imagery, trauma, affectivity and sensation this symposium seeks to present and discuss various analyses of case studies coming from a range of contemporary visual practices. It provides a fresh look at the meeting point between an ongoing debate on the politics of representation and an emerging scholarship on the politics of perception through the prismatic lens of feminist theory.
