[WhatsUpUoH] Invitation to a panel discussion--Reg

Dear All,

The Department of Communication invites you to a panel discussion--

Whether to be (or not to be) Charlie Hebdo:

Respecting Freedoms, Resisting Violence

 

 

Opinions have been flying fast and furious, across social media, in the newspapers, and on television talk shows. Images of protest both violent and peaceful, caricature and contestation, anguish and anger, words that tumble over each other in the desire to defend free speech and equally vehement counterpoints that explain the violent responses and just barely stop short of justifying them…we live in confusing times, and the most reflective of us are defeated by the challenge of a nuanced, balanced response. Is such a balance even possible in the face of intolerance and its violent manifestations? What are the threads of fact and imagination that we can draw together to make sense of events such as the violent response to the cartoons in the French magazine Charlie Hebdo earlier this month, or similar events in the not-so-distant past in not-so-distant places?

 

Join us to explore these and related questions

 

When: Thursday, January 22, 2015; 4:00 p.m.

Where: C V Raman Auditorium, University of Hyderabad
