Scholars from across disciplines participate in the workshop on: “Governing Intimacies, Digital Regimes and Resistances in Contemporary Europe” at the University of Amsterdam.
This workshop responds to challenges posed by streaming and AI, pivotal technological advancements, that have unfolded amidst a conservative turn in domestic and international politics. These challenges have re-defined practices of ‘intimacy’ through regimes of hypervisibility, rendering our personal lives governable. Simultaneously, privileging knowledge grounded in people’s actions and lived experiences, we also see ‘intimacy’ as a field of resistance, with the digital realm supplying novel and under-researched forms and practices of intimacy.
Participants use their research to consider what ‘intimacy’ comes to signify, when mediated and remediated through digital platform.

The workshop is organised in collaboration with the Centre for World Cinemas and Digital Cultures of the University of Leeds, the UK, and supported by Amsterdam Center for European Studies and ARTES Digital Networks and Communications.
