DESCRIPTION:Legitimatrix: Law\, Ethics and the Digital Neo-Baroque\n\nNew v
 isual technologies are transforming the practice and theory\nof law. This 
 raises new questions\, such as: What authorizes visual\nmeaning as a matte
 r of law? And how will jurists deal with the\nrecurring metaphysical anxie
 ty that has long been associated with\nthe potency of the image? The baroq
 ue and contemporary neo-baroque\nlove/hate relationship with the image (wh
 at Bruno Latour calls\n“iconoclash”) reflects a recurring ‘either/or’ resp
 onse: either the\nimage is what it shows\, either it is a transparent fram
 e\, like a\nwindow onto reality (the so-called “naïve realist” response) o
 r it\nis a deceit that ought to be rejected\, perhaps destroyed (the\nicon
 oclastic reaction).\nProf. Sherwin contends that the pictorial turn in law
  will\neventually lead to a more rhetorically sophisticated response to\nl
 aw as image\, but along the way what is left of our Cartesian\nassumptions
  about conventional semiotic meaning will be\ntransformed. The prospect of
  that transformation – moving perhaps\nfrom the digital neo baroque to the
  aesthetic and ethical sublime –\nemerges as we continue to work through t
 he cultural\, cognitive\, and\nmetaphysical challenges that visualizing la
 w presents.\nAttendence of this conference provides 1.5 hours of continuin
 g\nlegal education hours to members of the Quebec Bar\, as per the\nBar's 
 mandatory professional training requirements.\nThis event has been made po
 ssible by a grant from the Beatty\nMemorial Lectures Committee.\nThe Insti
 tute for the Public Life of Arts and Ideas thanks the\nDepartment of Art H
 istory and Communication Studies and the Canada\nResearch Chair in Law and
  Discourse for their support of this\nevent.\n
