CALL FOR PAPERS: AESTHETICS AND MOBILITY, HELSINKI, FINLAND 13-15 JANUARY
2005
The School of Visual Culture at the University of Art and Design Helsinki
and the Department of Aesthetics at the University of Helsinki will organize
a three day congress entitled Aesthetics and Mobility in 13-15 January 2005.
The event will take place at the University of Helsinki, Finland.
The organizers welcome presentations which deal with aesthetics of mobility
understood broadly. The theme of mobility is of primary importance
culturally, ecologically and economically. People, goods and information
circulate locally and globally and this is regulated, steered and restricted
by various technical, juridical and economic solutions. Also the current
boom of mobile technology is connected with this more general culture of
mobility. Largely due to the increased volume of mobility our living world -
landscapes, cities, even the climate - is changing rapidly. Mobility is a
phenomenon that has major cultural and environmental influences and thus
calls for deep going analyses from many angles, also from the point of view
of philosophical aesthetics, arts, and related fields.
The event is a part of the research projects Aesthetics, Mobility and Change
(Academy of Finland) and Environment, Experience and Change (Emil Aaltonen
Foundation).
Each presentation will be allotted 30 minutes, including discussion. Thus,
papers should not be longer than 20 minutes. The language of the seminar is
English.
The deadline for the abstracts not exceeding 300 words is June 30 2004.
Those who are accepted will be informed about the acceptance as well as
about travelling possibilities, accommodation and other practical issues by
August 31 2004.
To register, please use the attached registration sheet including a blank
space for the abstract. Please reply to Ms Inka Finell ([log in to unmask]
