Hannibal, Carmen and Robertson, Cole, 2022, Conference or Workshop, TIMES OF METAPHOR: A symposium on the temporal, metaphorical, and the still and moving image at Royal College of Art, one-day international research symposium, London, UK and online, 2022-07-08 - 2022-07-08.
Abstract or Description: | The aim of this one-day international research symposium was to investigate how the conception of time condition, or affect, our awareness of metaphorical meaning in still and moving images. We addressed this question through paper presentation and debate by critically engaging with the material, experiential and aesthetic aspects of visual images to understand the exact relation between the specific temporalities of these images and the temporal nature of the metaphorical.
