Media@McGill, McGill University's Department of Art History and Communication Studies, and the Crime and Media Working Group are pleased to present an international symposium on Crime, Media and Culture. This series of panel discussions, will take place on 18-19 May 2007, and will feature innovative, multidisciplinary work on crime, media and culture. Speakers will address the ways in which criminality is framed, constructed and represented in a variety of media, from detective novels through crime scene photographs. Topics to be covered include gender, race, public security, and the rise of cartographic analysis in police work. From the emergence of the “chick dick” through the growth of electronic surveillance systems, this symposium will examine the ways in which media treatments of crime work to entertain, instruct and unsettle us.
