Coordinated by Brisa Paim Duarte and José Manuel Aroso Linhares (UCILeR and ISLL), this workshop addresses the growing relevance of visuality in contemporary legal practices. It invites reflections on evidentiary regimes, the transformation of legal perception, and the emergence of post-textual forms of legal knowledge, engaging with perspectives from law, visual studies, media theory, and related fields.
The workshop seeks to advance critical inquiry into how seeing, images, and visual dispositifs are reshaping legal epistemologies and practices.
