It is increasingly acknowledged that visual traces and records, whether art or documentary, offer new routes to the past – especially where the life experiences and expression of people of the South have been marginalized in external or dominant literary sources. The immediate goal of this South/South workshop is to bring together esearchers from Latin America, Africa, Southern Asia and the Caribbean, with a view to exchanging experiences, theories and methodologies on the visual. Interested applicants should include a three page academic CV, the proposed paper (maximum of 5 pages), including its summary (500 words) and a recommendation letter by 15 June 2004. An international scientific committee will select the candidates by 15 July 2004.
