Symposium Proceedings

The symposium was launched in 2002 by Jean Lelièvre who had the idea of organizing a panel discussion/forum with guest speakers, including photojournalists, philosophers, sociologists, academics, researchers, and historians, both French and international, i.e. a wide range of panelists interested in current affairs and pictures, but approaching news and these questions from very different angles. The discussion has regularly produced statements not generally heard amongst professional photographers, but that's the purpose of the exercise! “Have we reached a crisis point in communication, a crisis with the symbols we produce, and in a broader sense, in conveying and grasping meaning in today's increasingly commoditized world?” This question captures the essence of the debate over the years.

The proceedings of the symposium (in eight booklets) contain the full text of the debates since 2002. They are on sale throughout the Festival, at the Chapitre bookshopLa Poudrière, from August 31 to September 15, 2013, (10 euros per volume).
Outside festival dates, e-mail orders to: d.lelu@wanadoo.fr.

Symposium proceedings available in French only.
