Dear Colleague,

We are pleased to inform/remind you of the 1ST WORKSHOP ON IMAGINING
BUSINESS "REFLECTING ON THE VISUAL POWER OF MANAGEMENT,ORGANISING AND

The submission deadline is February 28, 2008 We welcome papers and
extended abstracts (500-1500 words) from a range of disciplines and
approaches (organizational theory, accounting, geography, art,
sociology, communication studies, architecture, philosophy, social
studies of
technology...) that seek to explore the theoretical and empirical issues
related to a diversity of themes. The following issues provide an
indication of some of the topics you may wish to examine, but we do not
wish to limit the range of possible topics for discussion:

* Iconography and images in business
* The scenography of images and the channelling of attention
* Making business and organizing visible and thinkable
* Power of signs and issues of engagement
* Processes and practices of visualization and interpretation
* Exploring surfaces and media in relation to images (e.g. paper,
screens, walls, digital, etc) as well as the tools used for designing
images
* Understanding agency and the role of imagining artefacts (pencils,
computers, cameras...)
* Imagining the future through visualization
* Images in relation to dialogue and texts
* Understanding the senses for perceiving images
* Images, Myths, Icons and Metaphors,
and other related subject areas...

We look forward to reading your abstract and hopefully meeting you in
