The workshop will involve a series of screenings of films, some well-known and others less so, that deal with the subject of terrorism. This programme will be interspersed with papers given by network members. There will also be a panel session on the ethics of representing terror featuring the curators Professor Felix Ensslin and Graham Coulter-Smith, the artist Xenophon Kavvadias, and director Anne Crilly. The workshop was organised by University of Reading, Birkbeck, University of London and Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, as part of the AHRC funded ‘Terrorist Transgressions: network on the gendered representations of the terrorist’.
