What is hatred? How is it thought, written and visualised? How can historians, artists and cultural critics talk about it, or indeed work against it? These questions were examined earlier this year at the ‘Histories of Hatred’ conference at the ICA. Writer and lawyer Anthony Julius looked back with historian Deborah Lipstadt, Emory University, on their successful defence against Holocaust denier David Irving. Birkbeck academics Joanna Bourke and Anthony Bale considered particular forms of hatred inscribed in very different discourses. Artist Senam Okudzeto, the London Consortium, and filmmaker Pratap Rughani, London College of Communication, discussed the nuances of how hatred is represented in art and documentary film. Hosted by Steven Connor, Colin MacCabe and Noam Leshem of the London Consortium and supported by LCACE, the conference explored the nature and location of this complex subject in academic, artistic work and beyond. With the day’s proceedings distilled into a short film, its inaugural screening at Inside Out will be followed by an audience discussion of the issues raised.
