The conference will approach post-classical and post-avant-garde film work from a biopolitical viewpoint.

This approach queries any conception of life and death as a-historical moments of the human condition, and connects them to modern and contemporary modes of production - economical and social - and as such raises the crucial issues of representation and history. Which and whose histories can or cannot be narrated? From what perspective? How is history itself shaped by narration?
