Nous regrettons d'annoncer que cet atelier a dû être annulé.

La conférencière

[En anglais seulement] Karen Crawley is a graduate of the University of Sydney, with Honours in English Literature and in Law, and received her LLM and DCL from Ã山ǿ¼é. Her dissertation, Seeing Double: Ironic Encounters between Art and Law, examined the ironic effects of policing representations, with case studies drawn from theatre censorship, the prosecution of graffiti artists, and legal controversies over photographs.

Her postgraduate research was supported by the Canada Research Chair in Law and Discourse. She was the Ian C. Pilarczyk Fellow for Legal Methodology at the Ã山ǿ¼é Faculty of Law from 2007 to 2010, designing and co-delivering a compulsory course on critical research and writing practices for graduate students, and she also worked for the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism, coordinating the Global Conference on the Prevention of Genocide in 2007, and co-curating an accompanying art exhibition.

Karen has presented parts of her research at conferences in the United States, Canada and Australia.  Her research is interdisciplinary, drawing on literary theory, semiotics, visual culture, cultural criminology, legal geography and critical theory in order to explore issues of representation, affect and irony in the regulation of speech and art.
