As the notion of London as a 24 hour city is debated, we consider the way in which cities have been the loci of inclusion and exclusion, policing and controlling, after-hours. The panel and topics will include Professor Jo Evans: Chickens After Hours: Los olvidados/The Young and the Damned (Buñuel 1950); Professor Matthew Beaumont: ‘The Case of J. Albert Kimball, Insomniac’; Dr Kevin Inston: Jacques Rancière’s proletariat nights; Ruth Austin: Cocteau and the City after Hours; Dr Enora Robin: ‘Night Time Workers: equitable provision of transport for night time workers’; and Professor Andrew Leak: 'Tonino Benacquista's Les Morsures de l'aube'.
