> *Mobility and Fantasy in Visual Culture*, the first of a series of
> international symposia on visual culture to be held at Bahçes¸ehir
> University, I™stanbul, aims to enable discussion and debate on topics
> critical in the conceptualization, analysis, evaluation of and intervention
> in visual culture today.

> 
> Once apparently marginal, critical debate in visual culture over mobility,
> actual, virtual and imaginary, has become crucial to formulating positions
> both in relation to changes in communications technologies and in social and
> political relations. Digital visual technologies, it is claimed, have
> multiplied the sites of viewing, shifting audiences from positions of
> passive receptivity, associated with discourses of modern visual culture,
> into a series of modes of interaction. Yet, it is also argued that the
> encoding of kinaesthetic responsiveness in such forms of interaction
> represents a more thorough penetration of imaginative activities than ever
> before
> 
> 
> 
> Contributions are thus sought from scholars working in visual studies, in
> the history and theory of art, photographic, film, video and/or media
> studies that engage with issues of actual, virtual and imaginary modes of
> mobility in relation to images, still, moving and interactive, across modern
> and/or postmodern frameworks. We are particularly interested in ways in
> which the thinking of mobility in visual culture implicates issues of
> boundaries, borders and limits and, given the situation of the University
> overlooking Asian from European Istanbul, we invite contributions that
> concern that critical form of actual and imaginary mobility, orientalism,
> along with neo-orientalist variants and modes of resistant
> counter-orientalist practice. Contributions that address dominant, but also
> repressed, residual and/or emergent senses of space are also encouraged.
>

> 
> Further priorities may emerge from a range of topics that include the
> following:
> 
> 
> 
> Histories and theorizations of mobile spectatorship, e.g. flaneurism, the *
> dérive*, lines of flight
> 
> Mass and other forms of mobilization
> 
> Figures of immobility in accounts of modern and/or postmodern mass culture,
> e.g. spectacle and passivity
> 
> Monocularity, binocularity and complexifications of perspectival space
> 
> Forms of surveillance and counter-surveillance

> The symposium will involve 5 or 6 consecutive sessions of three 25 minute
