2016 marks the centenary of the Dada movement and the Centre for Practice Based Research in the Arts at Canterbury Christ Church University will mark this with a series of lectures that aims to blur the boundaries between the formal lecture and artistic performance, offering both creative practitioners and academics the opportunity to experiment with new ways of presenting their ideas and their work. All events are free. Please see the gallery website for further information on each event.

A Land of Promises:
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the British Press
Speaker: Dr Ruth Sanz Sabido (CCCU)
In this presentation, Dr Ruth Sanz Sabido provides an overview of the ways in which the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been constructed in British national newspapers since 1948. Using a combined theoretical and methodological framework – Postcolonial Critical Discourse Analysis – she examines four different case studies to trace the evolution of the representations of the conflict. Placing each case study within their own historical context (with particular reference to Britain’s postcolonial relation to Palestine), she focuses on the use of language, such as the deployment of the terms ‘terrorism’ and ‘terrorist’ to classify agents of political violence.
Dr Sanz Sabido is a Senior Lecturer in Media and Communications at Canterbury Christ Church University. She has previously taught at University of Leicester and De Montfort University, where she delivered a variety of modules in media discourse, journalism, media and identity, media and globalization, cultural studies, Public Relations, and research methods, amongst other subjects, both at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
