LECTURES
This series of lectures cover a wide range of questions and problems that form a contemporary agenda of visual and cultural studies. The first unit of lectures gives a unique oppotunity to virtually attend the International conference "Roland Barthes' Time" held in Vilnius in November, 2015. The second block features the lectures of guest speakers that were invited to participate in HESP seminars on visual and cultural studies through 2004-2012 including such renowned theoretics as Laura Mulvey, Scott Lash, James Elkins, Lev Manovich, Janet Wolff and others. On the whole, these videolectures provide a unique opportunity to learn about key concepts of visual studies from the best - here and now.
