Appel de conférences pour le colloque interdisciplinaire « Drawing the Line. Race, Gender, Ethics, and the Arts », Saint Anselm College, New Hampshire Institute of Politics, 28-29 mars 2025.

« Where do we draw the line? If we take the aphorism that morals have aesthetic criteria, then how should we think about the study and practice of the arts and intersections between arts, ethics, and politics? Twenty-first century social movements such as Black Lives Matter and #MeToo raised our consciousness and motivated change, while banned curriculum, debates about academic freedom, and challenges to democracy and human rights highlight the importance and limits of artistic production as an agent for change. Scholars and activists have long argued that racial politics and gender dynamics are always at work in ethical frameworks and artistic production, but it is only more recently that there have been widespread calls to acknowledge the moral imperative for all of us, across disciplines, to reckon with race and gender.

Drawing the Line: Race, Gender, Ethics, and the Arts is designed to explore these claims and stimulate rich discussions about the ethical dimensions of artistic production. We are interested in how and to what extent art can do ethical work, illuminating and engaging with social justice issues, and instigating change. »
