Biography Aurèle Parisien is a PhD student in the Humanities Doctoral Program at Concordia University, specializing in photographic history and theory. He received an MA in philosophy from McGill University (1990) and taught philosophy and Canadian studies at Marianopolis College. After working as a theatre critic and in scholarly publishing, where he specialized in Canadian photographic and art history, he studied in Concordia's studio photography program. His research focuses on commemorative photographic practices, how these trouble conventional art historical categories such as portraiture and still life, and what they contribute to our understanding of photographic experience and theories of photographic representation.
