ISOLATION: Disconnection, Solitude and Seclusion in a Connect World.
School of Art, Hobart, Tasmania. 14th – 16th December 2006.
There is no doubt that ‘isolation’ is a slippery signifier – a concept radically affected by new formations in physical and virtual networks, many of which are suggestive of different possibilities for bridging geographic, cultural and social divides. Hosted by the Housing and Community Research Unit in the School of Sociology at the University of Tasmania, Isolation: Disconnection, Solitude and Seclusion in a Connected World, invited researchers and practitioners from diverse fields to come together and discuss the way that critical concerns in social, political, creative and spatial disciplines have contributed to the reinterpretation of notions of connection and disconnection, redefining our understanding of what it means to be isolated.
