The Esbrina research group, in collaboration with the Department of Didactics and Educational Organization and the Cultural Pedagogies Unit of the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Barcelona, has assumed the commitment to organize the eighth edition of the “Conference on Life Stories in Education”. This meeting will take place at CESIRE (Center for Specific Resources for Support to Innovation and Educational Research), on April 28 and 29, 2022.
On this occasion, we have chosen to delve into the role of visual resources in life stories and therefore the title of the conference is “Life Stories in Education. The role of documents and visual strategies as triggers and mediators of stories”. We propose this topic as the axis of the meeting, because life stories are linked to images and because visual strategies can be enablers of narrative forms. This problem will allow us to advance in contributions from previous conferences such as the politics of representation, the ways of narrating (or narrating oneself), the relationship with the Other who gives us his story, the reconstruction of what has been lived and the relationship between images and stories.
In accordance with the methodological approach followed in previous editions, the work dynamics will be based on open and frank dialogue about the works presented, favoring public debate and shared reflection. The papers presented will be articulated around four axes:
- Life stories and photographic archives.
- Images as triggers for shared encounters and stories.
- Images as an expansion of the onto-epistemologies of life stories.
- Images as a device for making the invisible visible in life stories.
In accordance with the way of working followed in previous conferences, the complete communications will be uploaded to the conference website a few days before they are held, so that they can be read by the attendees, so the work in each one of the thematic tables is dedicated to the sharing of knowledge, experiences and critical and shared debate. Each table will have the participation of moderators, who will discuss the key points of each thematic line and will give the floor to the participants. Likewise, rapporteurs will be established at each table, in order to gather this discussion, offer some conclusions and propose future lines of work.
Call for papers
To participate in the conference, it will be necessary to deliver a paper of between 3,000 and 6,000 words before April 6, 2022, following the template presented below:
