2016 San Francisco, April 2 – 3
Workshop 2016 : Art & Imagination -
the role of metaphors, tropes & images in shaping experience & guiding action
The first ArtSense workshop, Art & Imagination, was held in San Francisco on April 2nd - 3rd 2016, in conjunction with the meeting of the American Philosophical Association, Pacific Division. Consisting of three separate events, the workshop analysed the way cultural artefacts acquire meaning and value as an example of the process by which communities establish shared terms of reference.
A report on the workshop (also published in the ASA Newsletter 36:2, Summer 2016) , along with the program, abstracts and other associated workshop information, follows below.
