| 2 | Human Rights on the Big and Small Screen Academic Responsible: Dr. Anna Chronopoulou, Academic Member, ATINER & Senior Lecturer, University of Westminster, UK The Law and popular culture literature has broadly explored themes ranging from but not restricted to cinematic representations of male lawyers, film and TV screen representations of women lawyers, ideas of social justice, agents of the law and the role of institutions emanating from media industries and traditions around the globe. More recently, an emerging branch of the field of law and popular culture, known as ‘human rights cinema,’ has explored the moving image of the refugees in relation to cinematic representations of war, civil war, conflict and inflicted traumas. Notwithstanding the important contribution of the ‘human rights cinema’ works to the overall field of law and popular culture, a notable absence remains. Religious identity or religion as an integral component of identity is treated as a marker of collective rather than individual identity and therefore disappears in the overall context of the cinematic representation of the atrocities of war conflicts. The aim of this session is to address this absence and to draw parallels with reality. It, therefore, invites abstracts on the following topic: Fictitious representations of religious identity and the reality of Human Rights Laws. | Conference Program |
