November 10, Working Party on Cultural Policy and Diplomacy, Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy 12pm - 2pm
Imaging Cultural Policy: Post 1989 Berlin in Photographs
This presentation concerns itself with the retrospective consideration of urban transformations in Berlin in contemporary artistic (conceptual) photography. How do artists critically reflect the effects of cultural policy in Berlin? What are the different layers of its genesis? What do creative projects and images tell us about processes of forgetting and remembering in the city? And to what extend can artistic endeavors help us understand the complex network of cultural policy decisions that shape a city?
Miriam Paeslack dedicates her research to different aspects of the relationships between the photographic image and urban space. She has delivered talks and has chaired panels on her interdisciplinary work at international conferences such as CAA and MSA, and at universities in the US and Europe.
Paeslack studied Art History and the History of Law in Germany, Italy and the United States, and received her PhD at Freiburg University. She has written numerous articles in German and in English publications focusing on contemporary as well as 19th and 20th century urban imagery. Her first book on Berlin photography of the Second Empire, Imaging a Nation. Berlin Photography in the Wilhelmine Era, is forthcoming in German in 2010.
A light lunch will be served prior to the presentation. RSVP to Nadejda Petrova, The Baldy Center for Law and Social Policy: npetrova@buffalo.edu
November 13, 2009 Advertising and the Law, Baldy Center for Law & Social Policy
Law School Professor Mark Bartholomew presents the conference "Advertising and the Law."
Most of us are aware that technology is making advertising increasingly prevalent in our daily lives. But what has only begun to be seriously explored in the academy are the social consequences of this commercial bombardment and the best modes for regulating the new forms of advertising. This one-day conference brings together a group of academics that have been exploring individual aspects of advertising and the law in a variety of ways. Advertising plays an important role in environment regulation, conceptualization of race and gender, privacy, health care, and intellectual property protection. By entering into an interdisciplinary conversation on all of these issues and more, we hope to get a better picture of what exactly is going on in our televisions, search engine results, store shelves, and our own heads.
