SIAH: Public Life draws a range of leading intellectuals into conversation about what the ideal of the 'public life' can mean to Arts and Humanities researchers and disciplines in the twenty-first century. Join us for a discussion on Afghanistan’s cultural heritage, the role of public history, Islamic architecture, and the transition from academic to diplomat.
Sayed Mossadeq Khalili is an architectural historian and former diplomat, having held roles as Afghanistan Ambassador to the Czech Republic, Deputy Minister of Information and Culture and Acting Minister at the Ministry of Culture. He will be in conversation with Alison Gascoigne, Professor of Archaeology at the University of Southampton.
SIAH: Public Life (Series abstract)
Arts and Humanities have always been crucial to the idea of the 'public life': the public is valorised as the realm of collective debate and decision-making, of community and solidarity, of art and culture. Such concepts, of course, have always been contested and never more so than right now. The electronic capture of the commons, the removal of boundaries between work and home, the policing of public spaces, the onslaught of the culture wars, the hold of big data and surveillance, the spectacles of populist politics have all changed the meanings, the spaces and the limits of the public sphere.
