Seminars added to the Seminar programme 2009

Thursday

10.00-10.20  Code To1000.8
The narrative capacity of photography
The Spanish photographer and curator of the exhibition entitled "On images, books and readings", Ciuco Gutiérrez, brings us closer to the interconnections between the visual language of photography and the narrative language of literature. A photograph is a vehicle for semiological expression using shapes and light just as music uses sounds. Books are sets of signs articulated so as to convey ideas and concepts that lie at the base of knowledge and reflection, whereas photography as an art form is the result of the aesthetic visual experience of thought, in other words, emotion.
Participant: Ciuco Gutiérrez
Language: Spanish
Organizer: Spanish Ministry of Culture

Spain's Contemporary Chronicler
Author and journalist Rosa Montero is one of the leading narrators of modern Spain. Her debut Crónica del desamor (Chronicle of Enmity), a simultaneously historic and contemporary story about the lives of several people in Madrid at the end of the 1970s, was followed by several novels about the desire for freedom among young Spaniards after Franco's fall. Her earlier books, with their social and feminist elements, acted as models for a new and more open society. Montero, who was born in Madrid in 1951, has written over ten novels and been translated to more than twenty languages. As a journalist for El País she has been awarded several of Spain's top prizes for journalism.
Rosa Montero talks about her writings with Nina Lekander.
