Symposium Opening: Visualizing Premodern Abolition

Opening day for the symposium Visualizing Premodern Abolition. This symposium brings together specialists in a variety of cultures (from ancient North Africa to colonial Latin America) and disciplines to explore problems of abolition in relation to premodern literary, material, and visual culture. The aim is not simply to trace structures of punishment, resistance, surveillance, and incarceration; but, rather, to see how abolitionist commitments to the unmaking of structures and remaking of emancipatory communities might shape the very structure of deep historical analysis itself.
