SUMMARY:Conférences HYPOTHESES Symposia : Who's Afraid of Bubbling Images 
 ?
DESCRIPTION:• John Toohey (PhD candidate\, Concordia University)FRED JU
 DGE'S LANDSCAPES OF FEARAmong the postcard views of Britain that Fred Judg
 e produced between 1904 and 1924 are scenes that reveal profound shifts in
  nineteenth century perception of the landscape. Tracts of wilderness that
  had once been considered dangerous were now popular picnic spots\, with l
 ittle physical change to the site taking place. Other fears\, of imminent 
 invasion and of the weather wreaking havoc\, have survived. Applying curre
 nt theories of landscape history relevant to how the landscape has been pe
 rceived\, we will see that within apparently innocuous images aimed at the
  tourist market lies evidence of a society's anxieties and vulnerabilities
 .• Shana Cooperstein (PhD candidate\, McGill University)HOW BUBBLES GA
 INES CURRENCY: REALISM\, PERCEPTION AND SPECULATION IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY 
 BRITAINI argue that in eighteenth-century Britain\, bubbles became a metap
 hor referring both to the fatuous and deceptive. Satirists often exploited
  the ephemeral\, allusive nature of these phenomena to symbolize delusion\
 , or a species of mere appearance that only fools mistake for substance. T
 hus\, this paper maps a particular domain of the symbolic as this concerns
  representations of the deceit and cunning capable of capturing and mislea
 ding the popular imagination. Overall\, I reveal how the characteristics o
 f bubbles\, such as that they are reflective\, wet and generate ephemeral 
 and optical illusions\, allowed them to serve as a way to thing about part
 icular operations of the intellect and imagination\, and became a signifie
 r for financial speculation.Président | Chair : DANIEL FISET (3e cycle\,
